Document background
The Mutual Surrender of Tenancy Agreement (Einvernehmliche Mietaufhebungsvereinbarung) is utilized when both landlord and tenant wish to terminate a lease agreement before its scheduled end date. This document is particularly relevant in the German real estate market, where lease agreements typically have strong tenant protections and specific termination requirements. The agreement provides a structured way to document the mutual consent to end the tenancy, specify the surrender date, outline the condition requirements for the property's return, address the settlement of deposits and outstanding payments, and ensure compliance with German property law. It's commonly used in situations where circumstances change for either party, such as tenant relocation or landlord's need to repurpose the property, and both parties agree to an early termination without penalties.
