Document background
The Notice of Intent to Vacate is a crucial document in Danish residential tenancy relationships, required by the Danish Rent Act (Lejeloven) when a tenant plans to terminate their lease and vacate a rental property. This document serves multiple purposes: it provides formal notification to the landlord, establishes a clear timeline for the termination process, and helps protect both parties' legal rights. The notice must include specific information such as the property address, intended vacation date, and tenant details, while adhering to statutory notice periods (typically three months for residential properties in Denmark). This document is particularly important as it triggers various legal timeframes and obligations under Danish law, including property inspection requirements and deposit return procedures. It also serves as evidence that proper notice was given, which can be crucial if any disputes arise during the termination process.
