Giving up leasehold rights by a tenant in exchange for a release from future obligations under a lease.

The giving back of an interest in an estate to the person who has the reversion or remainder interest. An example of surrender would be the giving up of the lease by the lessee (tenant) to the lessor (landlord) prior to the expiration of the leasing term. In the case of a lease, surrender by the lessee and acceptance by the lessor terminates the lease either by mutual agreement or by operation of law. Surrender and acceptance occurs by mutual agreement if the lessee offers to terminate the lease, which is the surrender, and the lessor agrees to the offer, which is the acceptance. Surrender is distinguished from mereabandonment. A lessee may not just walk away from a lease and hope to escape legal liability. A lessor does not show acceptance by entering on the realty in order to protect it after abandonment. The landlord may attempt to lease the property for the best terms that he or she can get in order to mitigate (minimize) damages, and to sue the breaching lessee for the actual injury suffered. Surrender and acceptance, however, will occur by operation of law if the landlord takes unqualified possession of the property and gives a new lease without reservation.

A premature conveyance of a possessory estate to a person having a future interest, as when a lessee surrenders the leasehold interest to the owner of the reversion interest, the lessor, before the normal expiration of the lease.

The cancellation of a lease by mutual consent of lessor and lessee.

The termination of a lease by mutual agreement of the lessor (landlord) and lessee (tenant).
