# §162.254. When will a cancellation of an agricultural lease be effective?


A cancellation decision involving an agricultural lease will not be effective until 30 days after the tenant receives a cancellation letter from us. The cancellation decision will remain ineffective if the tenant files an appeal under [§ 162.253](/cfr/25/162.253.md) of this subpart and [part 2](/cfr/25/part2.md) of this chapter, unless the decision is made immediately effective under [part 2](/cfr/25/part2.md). While a cancellation decision is ineffective, the tenant must continue to pay rent and comply with the other terms of the lease. If an appeal is not filed in accordance with [§ 162.253](/cfr/25/162.253.md) of this subpart and [part 2](/cfr/25/part2.md) of this chapter, the cancellation decision will be effective on the 31st day after the tenant receives the cancellation letter from us.
