Document background
The Landlord End of Lease Letter is a crucial document in Hong Kong's property rental market, used when a landlord wishes to formally communicate the natural conclusion of a lease agreement. This document, essential under Hong Kong's property law framework, particularly the Landlord and Tenant (Consolidation) Ordinance, serves multiple purposes: it confirms the lease termination date, outlines the move-out process, details the security deposit return procedure, and specifies final inspection requirements. The letter should be issued within the notice period specified in the original lease agreement, typically ranging from one to three months before the lease end date. It helps prevent misunderstandings between parties and provides a clear paper trail for the lease termination process, which can be particularly important in Hong Kong's dynamic property market where both residential and commercial leases require careful management and documentation.
