Ordinary Termination

An ordinary termination is the standard way to end a contract, such as a rental or employment agreement. It usually requires a notice period, which is specified in the contract or by law. For example, a tenant can terminate their lease by notifying the landlord at least three months in advance.

Practical relevance: For residents in Germany, it’s crucial to understand notice periods to exit contracts in a timely manner. The reason for termination does not need to be stated, but incorrect notice periods can lead to issues. Relevant is § 573c BGB for rental agreements.
