Document background
The Notice of Eviction for Non-Payment of Rent is a crucial legal document used in German property law when a tenant has failed to meet their rental payment obligations. This document is typically issued after previous payment reminders have been unsuccessful and the landlord wishes to terminate the tenancy. Under German law, specifically the BGB (German Civil Code), strict requirements must be met regarding the content, format, and delivery of such notices. The document must clearly state the grounds for eviction, specify the outstanding amounts, and include all legally mandated information. It serves as the first formal step in the eviction process and can be used for both residential and commercial properties. The notice must be carefully drafted to ensure compliance with tenant protection laws and procedural requirements, as German law provides significant tenant rights and protections.
