Document background
The End Of Rental Agreement Notice is a crucial document in German property law that formally communicates the intention to terminate a rental relationship. It must be prepared in accordance with the strict requirements of the German Civil Code (BGB), particularly regarding form and content. This document is used when either a landlord or tenant wishes to end a rental agreement, whether for residential or commercial properties. It must include specific details such as the exact property identification, clear termination date, and comply with statutory notice periods. When issued by a landlord, it must often include legally valid reasons for termination as per German law. The document serves as a formal record of the intended termination and initiates the process for property handover and final settlement of accounts.
