# Initiate termination from natural expiration

`POST /leases/{lease_id}/termination/from-expiration`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.faireplace.com/api`
- URL: `https://api.faireplace.com/api/leases/{lease_id}/termination/from-expiration`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Initiates the termination process for a lease that has reached its `end_date` without
a formal notice (congé). Used for fixed-term leases (mobility, seasonal, CDD).
Transitions the lease directly from `ACTIVE` to `FINALISATION` (skips `NOTICE`).

**Idempotent.** Typically called by the scheduler, but can be triggered manually.

**Permissions required:** `leases:write`

## Path parameters

- `lease_id` string, uuid, required

## Response `200`

## Other responses

- `401`: Unauthorized
- `403`: Forbidden
- `404`: Not found
- `429`: Rate limit exceeded. Every endpoint sits behind a plan-aware limiter, and the public tools carry an additional per-endpoint one. `error.details.retry_after_seconds` says how long to wait; the `Retry-After`, `X-RateLimit-Limit` and `X-RateLimit-Remaining` headers carry the same information.
- `500`: Internal Server Error
