Cap. 604 Art. 9DRegistration of a new lease in the case of consensual termination of the lease or abandonment of property by the lessee. 

(1) If the parties agree to the mutual termination of the lease or the lessee abandons the rented property without notice, the lessor may request the registration of a new lease on that same dwelling house, despite the fact that the period of the previous lease would still be running, after giving notice of such mutual termination or abandonment to the Authority. The Authority shall notify the previous lessee with the lessor’s request to deregister the lease:

Provided that in case of abandonment, the said deregistration shall not have the effect to release the lessor from his obligations towards the previous lessee in the case that the said lessor would have granted the use of the property to any other person in bad faith:

Provided further that the said deregistration shall be without prejudice to any claim that the lessor may have against the lessee who would have abandoned the property.

(2) This article shall also apply when the lease is entered into with more than one (1) lessee, and the lessor would have agreed to the consensual termination with one (1) of the lessees, or one (1) of the lessees would have abandoned the leased dwelling house without notice and without substitution:

Provided that for the removal of the lessee, the lessor shall obtain the consent of all the lessees included in the original lease agreement.
