Document background
The Commercial Lease Termination Letter (Kündigung des Gewerbemietvertrags) is a crucial document in German commercial property law, used when either a landlord or tenant wishes to formally end a commercial lease agreement. This document must strictly comply with German legal requirements, particularly those outlined in the BGB (German Civil Code). It is used in situations where a party needs to provide formal notice of lease termination, whether at the end of a specified term or for cause. The letter must include specific elements required under German law, such as clear identification of parties, precise property details, and explicit termination dates. This document is particularly important as it initiates the formal process of lease termination and sets out the framework for the eventual handover of the commercial property.
