Document background
The Notice For Not Paying Rent is a critical legal document used in the German property rental market when tenants have defaulted on their rent payments. It must be drafted in accordance with the German Civil Code (BGB), particularly sections §543 and §569, which govern extraordinary termination of lease agreements. This notice is typically issued after rent payments have been missed and serves as a formal declaration of the landlord's intent to terminate the lease agreement due to payment default. The document must include specific details such as the exact amount of unpaid rent, relevant periods, payment deadlines, and clear consequences of non-compliance. It forms a crucial part of the legal process for rent collection and potential eviction proceedings in Germany, and its proper preparation is essential for any subsequent legal actions.
