Document background
The Intent to Vacate Letter is a crucial document in Danish property law that formalizes a tenant's decision to end their tenancy. This document is required under the Danish Rent Act (Lejeloven) and must be submitted within the notice period specified in the original lease agreement, typically three months for residential properties. The letter should contain essential information including the property address, intended vacancy date, and tenant details. It serves multiple purposes: providing legal notice to the landlord, initiating the move-out process, and protecting both parties' rights under Danish tenancy law. The document is particularly important as it triggers various legal timeframes and obligations, including property inspection arrangements and the process for security deposit return.
