A lease may be terminated in any of the following ways:
(a) Notice: either party may notify the other its intention to terminate the lease
wherethe tenancy does not specify the date of termination or intends to terminate
the same earlier.

(b) Forfeiture: This is the right of the landlord or grantor to re-enter the
demised premises and thus prematurely terminate the lease. This will be actuated by
certain breaches. It is exercisable pursuant to a forfeiture clause.

(c) Expiration or lapse of time: All fixed term leases generally terminate or expiration of such time.

(d) Surrender: this is the giving up by the tenant to the landlord of his interest in
the premises. It must be made in a prescribed form executed by the tenant. It may
also be implied from the conduct of the tenant.

(e) Merger: under the provisions of the I.T.P.A a lease of immovable
property determines if the property in question becomes vested in the lessee. Under
the R. L. Act a merger must express.

(f) Conversion.
