Answer:
Vacate means to leave or no longer occupy. Vacating may apply when a lease expires or is terminated through notice of termination or eviction. Abandonment implies that someone has vacated a property without any required notice or official termination of a lease agreement, and there is evidence that the person intends to not return. Abandonment connotes a failure to carry out a responsibility or obligation toward the property.
