Document background
A Formal Notice To End Tenancy (Kündigung des Mietvertrags) is a crucial legal document used in the German rental market to formally terminate a lease agreement. It must be prepared in accordance with the German Civil Code (BGB) and requires specific elements to be legally valid. This document is used when either a landlord or tenant wishes to end a rental agreement, whether residential or commercial. The notice must include precise details about the property, parties involved, and termination date, while adhering to statutory notice periods. For landlords, specific legally acceptable reasons for termination must be stated, while tenants generally don't need to provide a reason. The document's format and content are strictly regulated by German tenancy law to protect both parties' rights.
