A lease of immoveable property determines--
(a) by efflux of the time limited thereby:
(b) where such time is limited conditionally on the happening of some event--by the happening
of such event:
(c) where the interest of the lessor in the property terminates on, or his power to dispose of
the same extends only to, the happening of any event--by the happening of such event:
(d) in case the interests of the lessee and the lessor in the whole of the property become vested at
the same time in one person in the same right:
(e) by express surrender; that is to say, in case the lessee yields up his interest under the lease to
the lessor, by mutual agreement between them:
(f) by implied surrender:
(g) by forfeiture; that is to say, (1) in case the lessee breaks an express condition which provides
that, on breach thereof, the lessor may re-enter 1***; or (2) in case the lessee renounces his character
as such by setting up a title in a third person or by claiming title in himself; 2[or (3) the lessee is
adjudicated an insolvent and the lease provides that the lessor may re-enter on the happening of such event]; and in 3[any of these cases] the lessor or his transferee 4[gives notice in writing to] the lessee
of his intention to determine the lease:
(h) on the expiration of a notice to determine the lease, or to quit, or of intention to quit, the
property leased, duly given by one party to the other.
Illustration to clause (f)
A lessee accepts from his lessor a new lease of the property leased, to take effect during the
continuance of the existing lease. This is an implied surrender of the former lease, and such lease
determines thereupon.
