Renewal of lease, a re-grant of an expiring lease for a further term. Where a lease contains a covenant by the lessor for renewal, this convenant is commonly subject to the condition that the covenants in the lease shall have been performed by the lessee, and this condition is strongly enforced by the Court, Finch v. Underwood, (1876) 2 Ch D 310.Leases may be surrendered in order to be renewed, without a surrender of under-leases, by virtue of the (English) Landlord and Tenant Act, 1730 (4 Geo. 2, c. 28), s. 6, before which Act a surrender of each under-lease was necessary.As to covenants for perpetual renewal, see Wynn v. Conway Corporation, (1914) 2 Ch 705, and cases there referred to.By the (English) Law of Property Act, 1922, s. 145, and 15th Sch., perpetually renewable leases have, from the 1st January, 1926, been converted into terms of 2,000 years from the date of the commen-cement of the existing term.

Biswanath Banerjee, 1989 Supp (1) SCC 487: (SCC at p. 496) in para 14, this Court drew the distinction between the meaning of the words extension and renew...

Extension and renewal
Extension and renewal, to 'extend' means to enlarge, expand, lengthen, prolong, to carry out further than its original limit. 'Extension' according to Black's Law Dictionary, means enlargement of the main body; addition of something smaller than that to which it is attached; to lengthen or prolong. Thus 'extension' ordinarily implies the continued existence of something to be extended. The distinction between 'extension' and 'renewal' is chiefly that in the case of 'renewal', a new lease is required, while in the case of 'extension' the same lease continues in force during additional period by the performance of the stipulated act, Provash Chandra Dalui v. Biswanath Banerjee, AIR 1989 SC 1834 (1839). [Calcutta Thika Tenancy Act, (2 of 1949), s. 2(5)]...
