CA43600 - FCA: Termination of a lease

CAA01/S393W

If the lessee of a flat remains in possession of the flat with the lessor's consent without a new lease being granted when a lease terminates, the lease is treated as continuing while the lessee remains in possession.

If a new lease is granted to the lessee when a lease terminates as a result of the lessee exercising an option available under the first lease, the new lease is treated as a continuation of the first lease.

If the lessor pays the lessee a sum in consideration of a flat comprised in the lease when the lease terminates, treat the lease as if it had ended by being surrendered for the payment.

If on the termination of a lease, another lease is granted to a different person who pays the first lessee a sum in consideration in connection with the transaction, the two leases are treated as if they were the same lease, assigned to the second in consideration of the payment.
