Saving as to new agreements to vacate
22. Subject to the provisions of section 15, nothing in this Part shall be taken to limit the right of a landlord and tenant (whether or not the tenant is a tenant to whom section 17(2) applies) to agree to such stipulations and conditions as they shall think fit in regard to the duration of the tenancy and in particular to any stipulation in regard to termination of the tenancy in the event of the landlord desiring to sell the premises or to obtain possession for occupation by himself or any member of his family:
Provided that no landlord shall be entitled by reason of any agreement made under the foregoing provision to obtain an order for the ejectment of any tenant unless he satisfies the Tribunal or a court, as the case may be, that the tenant intended by such agreement to deprive himself of the protection against ejectment afforded by this Part.
