Provided that, where a tenant is holding land under a special contract with his landlord at a favourable rent for a term of years in consideration of temporary deterioration, or of the labour or expense involved in the reclamation by such tenant of the land from waste, nothing in this section shall be constructed to prevent a fair rent being fixed or agreed upon after the expiration of the term of such contract.
