Lease cancellation
The ending of a lease agreement according to the contract, notice, breach, law, or agreed termination route.
Definition
Lease cancellation should be checked before treating occupation as unlawful or starting any eviction route. A practical review should organise the lease, addenda, notices, breach records, rent ledger, deposit records, inspection photos, messages, repair complaints, consumer or rental-housing issues, and whether the tenant or landlord disputes cancellation.
