Hi Guys,
If the property lease is for a certain specific period, can that lease be terminated before the end of the period of Lease?

As per my knowledge , Sec.111 of the Transfer of Property Act, gives the circumstances in which a lease could be determined. Those circumstances are :-

On the expiry of the period of lease;
On the happening of the event, which is a condition for expiry;(c)on the happening of such event when the lessor's interest in the property terminates;
When the persons holding the ownership and the lease become one and the same person at the same time and in the right; this state is also known as `merger’;
When the lessee expressly yields up its interest to the lessor;

Yes Sonia that's right. But according to me there are some other circumstances like:
Implied Surrender that is by the creation of new relationship e.g. where the lessee becomes the mortgagee, the latter’s rights remain in abeyance because the larger rights as the mortgages come into effect. The rights as the lessee are restored when the mortgagee is redeemed.

Yes, antara Implied Surrender is one circumstance. Do you know forfeiture !!

Lessee breaking the express condition giving the lessor a right to re-enter, lessee setting up an adverse title i.e. a title in himself or in a third party or upon the lessee being adjudged insolvent whereupon lease stipulates for a right of re-entry upon the lessor & which is followed by the lessor giving to the lessee notice to determine.
This is technically known as forfeiture.

Hi Madhuparna,
As per my knowledge, You should learn as much as you can about the condition of the premises before you hire it. You need to investigate the condition of the property and all its systems such as :-

plumbing systems, drainage, water faucets and sanitary fittings.
roof, walls, ceilings, floors, paintwork.
electrical systems, circuit breakers, wires, capacity of the electric meter, functioning of light fittings.

@Madhuparna,
In my point of view, you should check, foundation, basement and visible structures.
Doors and windows, latches, locks. Structural stability of the building. And also fixtures and fittings, electrical load and Water supply.
