Document background
The House Vacate Notice is a crucial document in German residential tenancy law, used to formally terminate a rental agreement. It must strictly comply with the German Civil Code (BGB) requirements, particularly §§ 568, 573, and 573c regarding form, notice periods, and justification. This document is typically used when either a landlord needs to terminate a tenancy for legitimate reasons (such as personal use or economic necessity) or when a tenant wishes to end their rental agreement. The notice must be in written form, contain specific information about the property and parties involved, and observe mandatory notice periods, which vary depending on the duration of the tenancy and whether the termination is initiated by the landlord or tenant.
