By issuing notice of termination as per of the agreement, tenant has surrendered the tenancy. Issue him reply accepting the termination of tenancy enclosing copy of agreement. That is equivalent to cancellation of tenancy by both the parties.

on expiry of 2 months period agreement stands terminated
2) take possession of flat and return the security deposit
If you have no other valid reason to object his notice of vacating the premises, you may inform the tenant about your acceptance and instruct him to deliver vacant possession on due date.
You can also give him a reply in the same manner as he did.
This is just a legal formality.
send your acceptance by email or post
mere whats app is not sufficient
Dear Client,
The notice from the tenant stating two months is as per the rental agreement, making the termination quite a painless affair. You can acknowledge and accept the notice verbally and in writing by sending a written reply, and you can even share a Word document over WhatsApp. Legally, you don't have to send this copy as well because communicating over WhatsApp, including sharing of a Word document, can be held valid where parties consent to doing so. The necessity to include the lease agreement is not applicable since the terms are already decided. After the notice period is over, take possession from the tenant and sort out all the dues or property inspection issues.
Thank you hope this answers your query.
- You can terminate the agreement after sending a Legal notice.
- However, if the tenant is given notice for cancelling the agreement , then you can take the possession of the tenanted premises.
