Document background
A Written Notice to End Lease is a critical document in Dutch property law, used to formally communicate the intention to terminate a lease agreement. It must be used whenever either a landlord or tenant wishes to end a lease agreement, whether for residential or commercial properties. The document must comply with specific requirements under Dutch Civil Code Book 7, including proper notice periods, clear identification of the property and parties involved, and specific termination dates. For landlords, valid grounds for termination must be included as per Article 274. The notice serves as legal proof of intention to terminate and helps protect both parties' rights under Dutch law. Proper formatting and delivery of this notice is crucial for its validity, and it forms part of the formal documentation required for lease termination proceedings.
