a.

serve no­tice to ter­min­ate a lease on res­id­en­tial or com­mer­cial premises as of the next leg­ally ad­miss­ible ter­min­a­tion date if he claims an ur­gent need of such premises for him­self, his close re­l­at­ives or in-laws;

b.

serve no­tice to ter­min­ate a rent­al agree­ment in re­spect of oth­er ob­jects as of the next leg­ally ad­miss­ible ter­min­a­tion date un­less the con­tract al­lows for earli­er ter­min­a­tion.

³ If the new own­er ter­min­ates soon­er than is per­mit­ted un­der the con­tract with the ex­ist­ing land­lord or lessor, the lat­ter is li­able for all res­ult­ant losses.

⁴ The pro­vi­sions gov­ern­ing com­puls­ory pur­chase are un­af­fected.
