The lease of rural hereditaments although made without writing, shall cease at the expiry of the term fixed by the preceding article, only by the effect of a notice given in writing by one of the parties to the other, at least six months before that term.
If notice is not given within the period specified above, a new lease shall be entered into, the effect of which is governed by article 1774.
The same applies if, on the expiry of written leases, the lessee remains and is left in possession.
