Sample letters for mutual agreement to terminate tenancy

In case of mutual agreement, a correct letter is essential. Below are sample letters. For tenant to landlord: 'Dear Sir/Madam, I propose to terminate the tenancy agreement as of [date] by mutual consent. I will deliver the property clean, and record the meter readings. Please confirm your agreement.' For landlord to tenant: 'Dear tenant, I agree to termination as of [date]. Delivery according to inspection report, deposit minus service costs refunded within 14 days.' Both letters must be signed and duplicated. Add: end date, delivery conditions and contact details. Send by registered mail for proof. Adapt to specific situations, such as relocation cost compensation. These templates comply with Article 7:271 of the Dutch Civil Code (BW) and prevent misunderstandings. Use them as a basis, but have a notary review in case of complexity.
