5.4 Termination of Lease

1. Expiry of the term (or the notice period's end in periodic leases — the notice discipline the law prescribes).2. Forfeiture for breach — the lessor's re-entry on the lessee's default (non-payment, breach of covenant), through the law's notice-and-cure course; eviction is judicial/regulatory, not self- help, in the house-rent frame.3. Surrender (mutual) and merger (the lessee acquires the reversion).4. Destruction of the subject-matter or frustration of the lease's purpose.5. The lessee's disclaimer/renunciation; efflux through the lessor's enforced sale (the mortgage's exercise — Property Law, Semester 3).6. Statutory termination routes in the house-rent discipline (the protection's balance: notice, grounds, deposit-return rules).
