In contrast with § 45-1402, Congress adopted in 1901 what is now D.C. Code § 45-1401 (1990) to govern leases of real estate "for a certain term," entitling a landlord to sue for possession without notice to quit "immediately upon the expiration *Page 679 
of the term." Similarly, D.C. Code § 45-1404 (1990), adopted in 1901 to govern "tenancies by sufferance," entitles a landlord to terminate the tenancy "at any time" but, akin to § 45-1402, requires a "notice in writing . . . to quit the premises leased," though not a specified number of days in advance.2
