The provision

If the lease was made for a determinate time, it ceases upon the day fixed, without the need of a demand. (1565)

Intellegal Wiki · In plain terms

When a lease is set for a fixed period, it automatically ends on the agreed day, with no demand or notice needed to terminate it. Once that date arrives, the lessee's right to stay simply expires by the terms of the contract itself.
