Document background
The Early Lease Termination Form is designed for use in New Zealand when either party needs to end a residential tenancy agreement before its scheduled completion date. This document is essential when circumstances require early termination, whether by mutual agreement or unilateral notice as permitted under the Residential Tenancies Act 1986. It captures crucial information including property details, party information, termination date, reason for termination, bond refund details, and final inspection arrangements. The form ensures compliance with New Zealand tenancy laws while protecting the rights and obligations of both landlords and tenants during the termination process. It's particularly relevant in situations such as job relocations, property sales, or other circumstances where the original lease term cannot be fulfilled.
