Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Under section 111(g), a lessee’s renunciation of that status by claiming title personally can ground forfeiture. The lessor or transferee must give the lessee written notice of the intention to determine the lease.

Option feedback

Option A

Repudiation by claiming ownership is a forfeiture ground, and written notice is required.

Option B

Section 111(g) allows determination for the stated repudiation before the term expires.

Option C

Repudiation alone does not determine the lease automatically.

Option D

Section 111(g) requires written notice. An oral notice is insufficient.
