§ 5-901. Certain provisions of leases of personal property inoperative

unless notice thereof given to lessee. No provision of a lease of any

personal property which states that the term thereof shall be deemed

renewed for a specified additional period unless the lessee gives notice

to the lessor of his intention to release the property at the expiration

of such term, shall be operative unless the lessor, at least fifteen

days and not more than thirty days previous to the time specified for

the furnishing of such notice to him, shall give to the lessee written

notice, served personally or by mail, calling the attention of the

lessee to the existence of such provision in the lease. Nothing herein

contained shall be construed to apply to a contract in which the

automatic renewal period specified is one month or less.
