Document background
The Notice of Early Termination of Lease is a crucial document in German property law, used when either a landlord or tenant needs to end a lease agreement before its intended expiration date. This document must strictly comply with the German Civil Code (BGB) requirements, particularly sections §543 and §568, which govern extraordinary termination and notice requirements. The notice should be used when there are legitimate grounds for early termination, such as significant breach of contract, non-payment of rent, or other reasons defined by German law. It must include specific details about the property, parties involved, and explicit termination date, while adhering to mandatory notice periods. The document serves as a formal record of the intention to terminate and the grounds for such termination, potentially becoming important in any subsequent legal proceedings.
