LANDLORD AND TENANT (CONSOLIDATION) ORDINANCE - SECT 22

Saving as to new agreements to vacate

Nothing in this Part shall be taken to limit the right of a landlord and
tenant (whether or not the tenant is a tenant to whom section 17(2) applies)
to agree to such stipulations and conditions as they shall think fit in regard
to the duration of the tenancy and in particular to any stipulation in regard
to termination of the tenancy in the event of the landlord desiring to sell
the premises or to obtain possession for occupation by himself or any member
of his family: (Amended 53 of 1993 s. 15) Provided that no landlord shall be
entitled by reason of any agreement made under the foregoing provision to
obtain an order for the ejectment of any tenant unless he satisfies the
Tribunal or a court, as the case may be, that the tenant intended by such
agreement to deprive himself of the protection against ejectment afforded by
this Part. (Amended 30 of 1955 s. 4; 76 of 1981 s. 13)
