Legal Requirements for Written Recording of Lease Termination

Although mutual consent can be given orally, written recording is essential for evidence. According to the Civil Code, the dissolution agreement must contain the end date, parties, and mutual consent. Without this, you risk disputes over rent arrears or delivery condition.

What must be included?

Specify the lease agreement, end date, delivery condition, and any settlements. Add a clause regarding no further claims. Have both parties sign and keep copies.

Registration and evidence

Send a registered letter for extra certainty. For social housing, inform the housing corporation. This prevents the landlord from terminating later as if there was no agreement.

A watertight document protects your interests. In case of complexity, engage a notary or lawyer for legal validity.
