Document background
The End Of Fixed Term Lease Notice To Vacate is a crucial document in South African property management, used when a landlord or property owner wishes to formally terminate a lease agreement at the end of its fixed term. It must comply with South African legislation, including the Rental Housing Act 50 of 1999 and the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008, which require proper notice periods and specific content requirements. This document serves as official communication and legal record, typically issued between 20 and 40 business days before the lease end date, depending on the terms of the original lease agreement. It should contain all necessary information about the property, termination date, handover requirements, and procedures for final inspection and deposit return, while maintaining professional courtesy and legal compliance.
