5-7-30. Grounds for cancellation of lease--Notice of intent to cancel and opportunity to remedy default. The commissioner of school and public lands is hereby authorized to cancel any lease issued as provided in §§ 5-7-18 to 5-7-32, inclusive, for nonpayment of rentals or nonperformance by the lessee of any requirement of the lease. With the exception of the nonpayment of rentals on or before the date they are due, if any such cancellation shall be made, the commissioner must mail to the lessee or assignee, by registered or certified letter addressed to the post office address of such lessee or assignee shown by the records of the office of the commissioner, a notice of intention to cancel said lease, specifying the default for which the lease is subject to cancellation and if within thirty days after the mailing of said notice to the lessee or assignee he shall remedy the default specified in such notice, then no cancellation of said lease shall be ordered by the commissioner but, otherwise, the cancellation shall be made and all the rights of the lessee or assignee under the lease shall thereupon terminate. No notice of intention to cancel shall be required where the default is the nonpayment of rentals on or before the date they are due.
The mailing of the notice as provided in this section shall constitute notice of the intention of the commissioner to cancel the lease and no proof of receipt of such notice shall be necessary or required.
