Surrender by Tenant Clause Samples

The 'Surrender by Tenant' clause defines the process by which a tenant can voluntarily give up their rights to occupy and use the leased premises before the lease term expires. Typically, this clause outlines the conditions under which surrender is permitted, such as requiring the landlord's written consent and specifying any obligations the tenant must fulfill, like paying outstanding rent or restoring the property to its original condition. Its core function is to provide a clear, agreed-upon method for ending the lease early, thereby preventing disputes and ensuring both parties understand their rights and responsibilities in the event of an early departure.
Surrender by Tenant. On the last day of this Lease, or on the sooner termination thereof, Tenant shall peaceably surrender the Premises in good condition and repair consistent with Tenant's duty to make repairs as herein provided. On or before the last day of the term of this Lease, or the date of sooner termination thereof, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, remove all of its property and trade fixtures and equipment from the Premises, and all property not removed shall be deemed abandoned. Tenant hereby appoints Landlord its agent to remove all property of Tenant from the Premises upon termination of this Lease and to cause its transportation and storage for Tenant's benefit, all at the sole cost and risk of Tenant, and Landlord shall not be liable for damage, theft, misappropriation or loss thereof, and Landlord shall not be liable in any manner in respect thereto. Tenant shall pay all costs and expenses of such removal, transportation and storage. Tenant shall leave the Premises in good order, condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear and damage from fire and other casualty excepted. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any expenses incurred by Landlord with respect to removal, transportation, or storage of abandoned property and with respect to restoring said Premises to good order, condition and repair. All alterations, additions and fixtures, other than Tenant's trade fixtures and equipment, that have been made or installed by either Landlord or Tenant upon the Premises, shall remain the property of Landlord and shall be surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof. Tenant shall promptly surrender all keys for the Premises to Landlord at the place then fixed for the payment of Rent and shall inform Landlord of combinations on any vaults, locks and safes left on the Premises.
Surrender by Tenant. On the Termination Date, subject to Sections 7 and 8, above, Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Premises to Landlord in the same condition that existed at the beginning of Tenant’s occupancy (except as specifically provided in this Lease), free of Tenant’s personal property and broom clean. As further provided in Section 7.2, above, Tenant will remove all alterations made by Tenant and repair any damage to the Premises resulting from such removal unless Landlord instructs Tenant to leave some or all of such alterations in place, in which event, such alterations will become the property of Landlord without compensation, provided that Tenant will always have the right and obligation to remove its trade fixtures and business equipment. If any of Tenant’s property remains within the Property after the Termination Date, it may be retained by Landlord without compensation, or may be removed and either stored or disposed of by Landlord and Tenant will reimburse Landlord upon demand for all expenses incurred in connection therewith.
Surrender by Tenant. Tenant shall deliver and surrender to Landlord possession of the Leased Premises upon expiration of this Lease, or its earlier termination as herein provided, broom clean and in as good condition and repair as the same shall be at the commencement of the Lease Term.
