Document background
The Letter To Tenant Terminate Lease Agreement is a crucial document in German property management, used when a landlord needs to formally end a lease arrangement with a tenant. This document must strictly comply with German Civil Code (BGB) requirements, particularly §§ 568 and 573, which govern the form and content of lease terminations. It should be used when there is a valid reason for termination (in case of landlord termination), when the lease term is ending, or when termination is mutually agreed upon. The letter must include specific details such as property identification, clear termination declaration, notice periods, and proper signatures. The document's format and content vary slightly between residential and commercial properties, but both must adhere to strict German legal requirements regarding notice periods and form.
