The commissioner may cancel any lease issued under the provisions of this chapter for nonpayment of rentals, for nonpayment of royalties or for violation of any of the terms, covenants, or conditions thereof, but before any such cancellation shall be made, the commissioner shall mail to the lessee or assignee, by registered or certified mail, addressed to the post office address of the lessee or assignee as shown by the records of the office of the commissioner, a notice of intention to cancel the lease, specifying the default for which the lease is subject to cancellation.
No proof of receipt of notice is necessary. Thirty days after the mailing, the commissioner may enter cancellation unless the lessee has remedied the default or contested in good faith. Any action to cancel a lease as provided in this chapter shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of chapter 1-26 . The lessee may remain in possession until a final decision is rendered.
