For business premises, devolution on death is confined to a family member carrying on the business, trade or storage with the tenant at the time of death. The Act does not recognise testamentary devolution of such protected tenancy rights to a stranger, and section 15(1) separately bars assignment or transfer of the tenant's interest.
