Answer:
Vacating means to leave or stop occupying a property. This can happen when a lease ends or is terminated through notice or eviction. In contrast, abandonment occurs when someone leaves a property without giving notice or officially terminating the lease, and there is clear evidence they do not intend to return. Abandonment suggests a failure to fulfill responsibilities regarding the property.
