Lease cancellation

Leases may be cancelled under certain conditions.

Holders of leases from the Minister of the Environment, the Fight Against Climate Change, Wildlife and Parks may request cancellation, to the extent that all structures mentioned in the lease have been removed from the water property in the domain of the State.

This type of request requires appended photos to show that occupation of the leased area has ceased.
