Yes, it would certainly seem so, unless there
are somehow other conditions in the lease connected with your right to exercise option 1 which first must be met.

Re: cancel contract
Absent other facts, (1) would permit the landlord to terminate the lease upon failure of tenant to pay rent. The contract may provide notice requirements and you might want to have an attorney review the agreement.
