A weekly or other periodic tenancy is a tenancy by the week or the period, and does not expire without notice at the end of the first week or period or at the end of each succeeding week or period, there being not a reletting at the beginning of every week or period but a springing interest which arises and which is only determined by a proper notice to quit. (27 Hals., 4th, p. 154) 1, record 2, English, - weekly%20tenancy
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The period upon which a tenancy isbased may be ascertained mainly by reference to the way in which the rent iscalculated; thus, where the rent reserved isso much per year, a yearly tenancy will be implied, even though the rent ispayable monthly. Thereisa distinction between a monthly or quarterly rent and monthly or quarterly instalments of a yearly rent; and accordingly, where a tenant for a fixed-term at a weekly rent holds over and continues to pay the same weekly rent, the proper inference isthat a weekly tenancy was intended.(Evans, 1974, p. 32). 1, record 2, English, - weekly%20tenancy

Thereisan easy way to tell whether or not any of the above areas need work.... make yourself a draft gauge. All you need isa metal clothes hanger, a plastic sandwich bag(or a piece of light tissue paper), a pair of scissors and two clothes pins. Cut the sandwich bag down each side and wrap one end over the cross-bar of the clothes hanger. Use the clothes pins to fasten the bag to the bar. Check for drafts, on a cold day, in all suspected areas. Hold the gauge steady by the handle of the hanger with the plastic bag close to the suspected areas. If any breeze iscoming in, the movement of the plastic will show you where. 1, record 3, English, - draft%20gauge
