The Move Out Notice To Landlord is a crucial document in German tenancy law, required whenever a tenant wishes to terminate their rental agreement. This document must comply with specific provisions of the German Civil Code (BGB), particularly §568 regarding form requirements and §573c concerning notice periods. It serves as the formal communication initiating the termination process and typically includes the tenant's details, property information, move-out date, and requests for final inspection and security deposit return. The notice is legally binding once properly served to the landlord and starts the notice period countdown. It's essential in both residential and commercial tenancies and must be provided within specified timeframes to avoid additional rental obligations.
