Continuation of the lease with the heir; termination for cause

If, on the death of the lessee, no persons within the meaning of section 563 accede to the lease or the lease is not continued with them under section 563a, then it is continued with the heir. In this case, both the heir and the lessor are entitled to terminate the lease for cause, observing the statutory period of notice, within one month of their having obtained knowledge of the death of the lessee and of the fact that there has been no accession to the lease and no continuation thereof.
