Document background
The End of Rental Agreement Notice is a crucial document used in Hong Kong's property rental market to formally terminate a tenancy agreement. It must comply with Hong Kong's Landlord and Tenant (Consolidation) Ordinance and local property laws. This notice is typically used when either a fixed-term tenancy is approaching its end date or when a party wishes to terminate a periodic tenancy. The document serves multiple purposes: it provides official notification of the intention to end the tenancy, establishes key dates for property inspection and handover, addresses security deposit return, and outlines final utility settlement procedures. It should be issued within the notice period specified in the original tenancy agreement or as required by Hong Kong law. The notice plays a vital role in protecting both landlord and tenant interests by clearly documenting the termination process and related arrangements.
