Document background
The Tenancy Contract Cancellation Letter is a crucial document used in Hong Kong's property market when either a landlord or tenant wishes to formally terminate a lease agreement. It must comply with Hong Kong's property laws, particularly the Landlord and Tenant (Consolidation) Ordinance, and should be used whenever a party intends to end a tenancy before or at its natural conclusion. The document serves multiple purposes: it provides written evidence of the intention to terminate, confirms the termination date, outlines the handover process, and addresses important matters such as security deposit return and final utility payments. This formal communication helps prevent future disputes and ensures all parties have a clear understanding of their rights and obligations during the termination process.
