days after said day, and possession may be recovered without demand or notice if

proceedings are instituted within that time. But, if proceedings are not instituted

the expiration of one (1) year from the day the term or tenancy expired. At the end

of that year the tenant shall abandon the premises without demand or notice, or

shall abandon the premises on that day unless by express contract he secures the

right to remain longer. If without such contract the tenant shall hold over he shall

not thereby acquire any right to hold or re main on the premises for thirty (30) days

after said day, and the possession may be recovered without demand or notice if

proceedings are instituted within that time. But, if proceedings are not instituted

within thirty (30) days after the day of expiratio n, then none shall be allowed until

the expiration of sixty (60) days from the day the tenancy expired. At the end of that

sixty (60) days the tenant shall abandon the premises without demand or notice, or

stand in the same relation to his landlord that he did at the expiration of the tenancy

aforesaid; and so on from time to time until he abandons the premises, is turned out

of possession, or makes a new contract.
