LANDLORD AND TENANT (IRELAND) ACT 1870 - SECT 28

Power of limited owner to grant leases.

28. Any limited owner shall have power to grant agricultural leases for any
term of years absolute, or determinable at fixed periods, subject to the
following restrictions:

(1)The term of any lease shall not exceed thirty-five years:

(2)The power of leasing conferred by this Act shall not include any mansion
house or demesne lands:

(3)The lease shall take effect in possession, or within one year after the
execution thereof, and not in reversion, and there shall be reserved thereby a
fair yearly rent to be incidental to the immediate reversion of the holding,
without taking anything in the nature of a fine, premium, or foregift; and in
estimating such yearly rent it shall not be necessary to take into account
against the tenant the increase (if any) in the value of the holding arising
from any improvements executed by him or his predecessors in title:

(4)The lease shall imply a condition of re-entry for non-payment of the rent
thereby reserved:

(5)The lease, if it includes any building, shall contain a clause declaring
whether the landlord or the tenant is bound to rebuild such building in the
case of the same being destroyed during any part of the tenancy by fire,
lightning, or tempest, and whether the landlord or the tenant is bound to keep
the same in repair:

(6)The lessee shall execute a counterpart of every lease, and shall thereby
covenant for the due payment of the rent reserved:

Effect of lease by limited owner.
