A residential lease is governed by the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, and no special rent statute applies. Which event, by itself, does not determine the lease under section 111?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 111 lists ways a lease can end, including expiry of a fixed term, express surrender and expiry of a duly given notice to quit. The tenant’s short stay elsewhere and retention of the keys and belongings do not by themselves end the lease.

Option feedback

Option A

A fixed term ending determines the lease by efflux of time under section 111(a).

Option B

The temporary absence does not show surrender or another mode of determination under section 111.

Option C

This is express surrender under section 111(e).

Option D

The expiry of a duly given notice to quit is a mode of determination under section 111(h).
