IRC Section 1241 specifies that payments received by the lessee for the cancellation of a lease are to be treated as a payment in exchange for the sale of the lease.

Assuming you were using the property (as opposed to holding it in inventory, for example you were a real estate broker), the lease would be a capital asset. So the payment would be a capital gain (long or short term depending on how long you held the lease).
