Rental Termination Agreement

A rental termination agreement is a document signed by both landlord and tenant to mutually end the tenancy. For example, if a tenant wishes to move out before the lease ends and the landlord agrees, they can create such an agreement.

For residents in Germany or Austria, it is crucial that the rental termination agreement is documented in writing and includes all relevant details, such as the return of the security deposit and move-out dates. Common mistakes, like failing to mention the deposit, can lead to issues. It is advisable to refer to the Civil Code (BGB) regulations, particularly § 573, which addresses tenancy terminations.
