The End Of Lease Notice is a crucial document in German property law, used when either a tenant or landlord wishes to formally terminate a lease agreement. It must strictly comply with the requirements set forth in the German Civil Code (BGB), particularly regarding form requirements (§ 568) and notice periods (§ 573c). This document is essential for both residential and commercial leases and must include specific details such as property identification, clear termination declaration, and termination date. The notice should be drafted with careful attention to legal requirements, as formal errors could invalidate the termination. It serves as the official communication initiating the lease termination process and typically triggers various end-of-lease procedures such as property inspection and security deposit return.

1. Sender Details: Full name and address of the party giving notice (typically the tenant)

2. Recipient Details: Full name and address of the landlord or property management company

3. Property Identification: Clear identification of the leased property, including address and any relevant unit numbers

4. Notice Declaration: Clear and unambiguous statement of intention to terminate the lease

5. Termination Date: Specific date when the lease will end, ensuring compliance with notice periods

6. Reference to Lease Agreement: Details of the original lease agreement including its date

7. Request for Final Inspection: Proposed timing for final property inspection

8. Security Deposit Return: Request for return of security deposit after inspection

9. Date and Signature: Date of the notice and tenant's signature
