     504.21 Restriction on automatic renewals of leases. 

    Notwithstanding the provisions of any lease of real 
 property used for residential purposes, no person shall have the 
 right to enforce any automatic renewal clause of a lease of an 
 original term of two months or more which states, in effect, 
 that the term thereof shall be deemed renewed for a specified 
 additional period of time of two months or more unless the 
 lessee or tenant gives notice to the lessor of an intention to 
 quit the premises at the expiration of the term due to expire, 
 unless the lessor or the lessor's agent, within 15 days prior to 
 the time that the lessee or tenant is required to furnish notice 
 of an intention to quit, but not more than 30 days prior 
 thereto, shall give to the tenant written notice, served 
 personally or by certified mail, directing the lessee's or 
 tenant's attention to the automatic renewal provision of the 
 lease.
