The Surrender of Tenancy Letter is a crucial document in German property law that facilitates the formal termination of a lease agreement between a tenant and landlord. It is typically used when a tenant wishes to end their tenancy, whether at the natural conclusion of the lease term or through an early termination agreement. The document must comply with German Civil Code (BGB) requirements and includes essential information such as property details, surrender date, arrangements for final inspection, utility readings, and security deposit return. This letter serves as official documentation of the tenant's intention and helps ensure a smooth transition process while protecting both parties' legal rights under German tenancy law. The format and content must adhere to local legal requirements and may need to be more comprehensive for commercial properties or situations involving multiple tenants.
