Document background
The Official Tenancy Termination Notice is a crucial document in German property law, used to formally end a rental agreement between landlord and tenant. It must be drafted in accordance with the German Civil Code (BGB) and related tenancy laws, which provide strict requirements for form and content. This document is essential when either party wishes to end the rental relationship, whether it's an ordinary termination with standard notice periods or an extraordinary termination for serious causes. The notice must include specific elements such as party identification, property details, termination date, and, where applicable, legal grounds for termination. For landlords, the Official Tenancy Termination Notice must also include valid reasons for termination as defined by law, while tenants generally don't need to provide reasons. The document's validity depends on proper timing, correct form, and inclusion of all legally required information.
