LAND LAW (IRELAND) ACT 1896 - SECT 13

Tenure in severalty.

13. Where the estate of the immediate landlord for the time being is
determined during the continuance of any tenancy from year to year, and two or
more persons are entitled in severalty as superior landlords, each of such
persons shall be deemed to be the immediate landlord to the tenant of the
tenancy within the meaning of section fifteen of the
Land Law (Ireland) Act, 1881, in respect of the portion of the land to which
he is entitled, and to have the rights and to be subject to the obligations of
an immediate landlord as provided by the said section; and the Land Commission
may, on application being made to them by any person interested other than the
tenant, apportion the rent previously paid by the tenant between the different
persons thenceforward entitled to the landlord's interest according to the
value of the land held from each; and the tenancy shall thereupon be divided
into two or more tenancies according to the portions of land to which each of
such landlords is entitled: Provided that each of such tenancies shall
continue to be subject to the same conditions in all respects (save as regards
the amount of rent to be paid) as the previously existing tenancy was subject
to under the immediate landlord prior to the determination of his estate.
