Document background
The Thirty Day Notice To Quit is a crucial document in German property law, used to formally initiate the termination of a lease agreement. It must be drafted in compliance with the German Civil Code (BGB), particularly sections 568 and 573, which set strict requirements for form and content. The document is typically used when either party wishes to end a lease agreement, though landlords must provide legally valid reasons for termination. The notice must be in writing, contain all required information about the parties and property, and specify the termination date calculated according to statutory notice periods. For landlords, the document must include specific grounds for termination as permitted by law, while tenants generally have more flexibility in giving notice. The document serves as a legal record of the intended termination and starts the formal process of ending the tenancy relationship.
