Document background
A Letter Giving Notice To Tenant is a formal document used in the Netherlands when a landlord or property manager wishes to terminate a rental agreement. This document must strictly comply with Dutch tenancy law, particularly the provisions outlined in the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek). The letter should be used when the landlord has valid grounds for termination and must be served with appropriate notice periods: three months plus one month per year of tenancy for residential properties, up to a maximum of six months. The document needs to include specific details such as the property address, termination date, and grounds for termination if applicable. It forms part of the formal legal process for ending a tenancy and can be crucial evidence in any subsequent legal proceedings. Proper delivery and documentation of receipt are essential aspects of serving this notice.
