California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Sinai v. Schiffman, 109 Cal.App.2d Supp. 925, 240 P.2d 1054 (Cal. Super. 1952):
It is true that in the case of Yates v. Reid, supra, the lease contained a further provision that the lessor might 'without notice' re-enter and take possession, and that no re-entry should be construed as an election to terminate 'unless written notice to that effect' were delivered to the lessee. Such a provision in the present lease no doubt would have eliminated the present controversy, and it is for that reason no doubt a desirable and wise provision. Such a provision, however, is by no means necessary to make the other provisions of the lease effective.
