Document background
The Letter to Vacate Apartment is a crucial document in Danish residential tenancy law, used when a tenant wishes to terminate their lease agreement and vacate a rental property. This formal notice is required under the Danish Rent Act (Lejeloven) and must be provided within specified notice periods, typically three months unless otherwise stated in the lease agreement. The document serves multiple purposes: it formally communicates the tenant's intention to move out, establishes a timeline for vacancy, and initiates the process for property inspection and deposit return. The letter should be written clearly and professionally, including all necessary details such as property identification, intended vacancy date, and forwarding address. It creates a paper trail that protects both tenant and landlord interests and helps ensure a smooth transition at the end of the tenancy.
