The Notice To Terminate Lease Agreement is a crucial document in German property law, used to formally end residential or commercial lease arrangements. It must be drafted in accordance with the German Civil Code (BGB), particularly sections §568 and §573, which specify strict form requirements and notice periods. The document is essential when either a landlord or tenant wishes to end a lease agreement, though landlords face more stringent requirements and must provide legally valid reasons for termination. The notice must be in written form with an original signature, clearly state the termination date, and include all legally required information about the property and parties involved. For landlords, common valid reasons include personal use, economic utilization, or significant breach of contract by the tenant. The document serves as legal proof of the intention to terminate and initiates the lease termination process.
