These materials were developed by GDACC and Fleased gratefully acknowledges their willingness to share them.
Is there a gas lease on your land that is about to expire? If so, we urge you to stop, consider, and act carefully on your own behalf.
If the expiration date of your lease is near, and you decide that a gas lease does not work for you at this time, do not sign and deposit or cash any check sent by the leasing company, and do not allow anyone to pressure you into leasing again. If you decide to let your lease expire, there are actions you need to take to ensure its expiration.
Although the information was compiled by an experienced environmental attorney, and can legally be used to effectively terminate an expired lease, you may want to consult your own attorney before taking action.
The Lease Termination Packet linked on the “Resources” page contains:
A) instructions on how to use the information to put a legal end to your expired lease
B) excerpts of the appropriate sections of the New York General Obligations Law 15-404
C) sample Notice Letter,
D) sample Affidavit of Service
