Let us take a real life example. My mother passes away in a nursing home and I inherit the house. If I am then going to sell the property why should I not be required to adhere to this process? I am selling the property so it seems to me there is no reason I should not. Obviously, if I have inherited the property and I want to move in, then I issue a notice of termination on grounds of use of the property for myself. The inference I would draw from Mr. Deverell raising the point is that there is no reason the person to whom the property is bequeathed should not have to comply with this system, if they choose to sell the property.
