This Act regulates lease of business premises and in particular the relationship between landlord and tenant and public interference in the contractual relationship. "Business" means a trade, an industry, a profession or an employment, and includes any activity carried on by a body of persons, whether corporate or not, but does not include farming on land. Section 3 defines the application sphere of the Act. A tenancy to which this Act applies shall not come to an end unless terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Act; and, subject to the provisions of section ten, the tenant under such a tenancy may apply to the court for a new tenancy. The court shall make an order for the grant of a tenancy comprising such property, at such rent and on such other terms as are hereinafter provided (sects. 4 and 10). The landlord may oppose to application for new tenancy. (28 sections)
