Document background
The Early Tenancy Termination Letter is a crucial document in Dutch residential tenancy law, used when a tenant needs to end their lease agreement before its scheduled termination date. This document is essential in situations such as job relocation, personal circumstances, or other valid reasons for early termination under Dutch law. The letter must comply with the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek), particularly Book 7's provisions on residential tenancy. It should include specific details about the property, current lease terms, proposed termination date, and reason for termination. The document serves as formal notification to the landlord or property management company and initiates the termination process, including arrangements for property inspection, key return, and security deposit settlement. Its format and content must meet legal requirements while clearly communicating the tenant's intentions and proposed arrangements.
