From Blacks Law:
“The [UCC] takes cognizance of the fact that the term ‘rescission’ is often used by lawyers, courts and businessmen in many different senses; for example, termination of a contract by virtue of an option to terminate in the agreement, cancellation for breach and avoidance on the grounds of infancy or fraud. In the interests of clarity of thought — as the consequences of each of these forms of discharge may vary — the Commercial Code carefully distinguishes three circumstances. ‘Rescission’ is utilized as a term of art to refer to a mutual agreement to discharge contractual duties. ‘Termination’ refers to the discharge of duties by the exercise of a power granted by the agreement. ‘Cancellation’ refers to the putting an end to the contract by reason of a breach by the other party. Section 2-720, however, takes into account that the parties do not necessarily use these terms in this way.” John D. Calamari & Joseph M. Perillo, The Law of Contracts § 21-2, at 864–65 (3d ed. 1987).

Looking at the above, I think you can get away with "rescission" rather than repudiation, at least in the U.S. that is.
Here is what the UCC says:
§ 2-720. Effect of "Cancellation" or "Rescission" on Claims for Antecedent Breach.
Unless the contrary intention clearly appears, expressions of "cancellation" or "rescission" of the contractor the like shall not be construed as a renunciation or discharge of any claim in damages for an antecedent breach.
So basically, in the US, they appear leave it up to the courts to decide what the contractors meant when using the term rescission.

disagree Billh : rescind is wrong. it is normally used in spanish to mean simply terminate, end, bring to a conclusion, etc. here the word is 'terminate' NOT rescind - http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Rescission

the intention to renew or rescind (repudiate) the same

renovar: roll over if the same agreement, renew if a different one.

Unilaterally (?) rescind the lease: there's some doubt in EN contract whether such 'termination' is possible, as opposed to 1. mutually by both sides or 2. by court order in Equity, namely as a discretionary remedy - not autmatially available, but lies in the court's discretion.

Rescission would in EN law discharge the contract and bring the parties back to their original position. Query: whether that would happen here. If not, repudiation might be a better bet.

More complicated than termination cf ‘resolución’ > Bosch, Dicc de derecho esp: Si la acción pretende remediar al perjuicio causado, es rescisión *restitutoria; si se pretende deshacer el contrato, rescisión *revocatoria’ Cod. civ. es., arts. 1.290 et seq
