The Notice To Vacate Letter (Kündigungsschreiben) is a crucial document in German tenancy law, used when either a landlord or tenant wishes to terminate a rental agreement. It must comply with Sections 568-573 of the German Civil Code (BGB), which stipulates specific requirements for form, content, and delivery. The document serves as official notification of intent to end the tenancy and must include precise details about the property, parties involved, and termination date. For landlords, it often requires stating legitimate reasons for termination, while tenants generally have more flexibility. Notice periods vary based on the length of tenancy and property type, typically ranging from three months for tenants to up to nine months for landlords in long-term residential leases.
