Similar to a surrender in English land law. However, in English land law, when a tenant surrenders the lease to a landlord, the landlord obtains the tenant's interest in the property, and any subleases under that interest would remain in force. This is different from Scottish law, where if a tenant renounces his lease, his contract is terminated completely and the landlord can take personal possession of the property. Consequently any sublease would cease to exist, unless the landlord specifically consented to the sublease and acknowledged that it would continue even if the main lease has been terminated.
The act of giving up a right.
