*A lease agreement also gets cancelled automatically after the term period is over.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

#On receiving the eviction notice, the breaching party (lessee) will have to reply to it to clear their stand.&lt;br /&gt;
#If the tenant denies the violation of the Lease Agreement and declines to reply, then the landlord can sue before the Court.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
