Document background
The Apartment Notice Letter is a crucial document in Austrian residential tenancy law, used to formally terminate a rental agreement for an apartment. This document must be drafted in accordance with the Austrian Tenancy Act (Mietrechtsgesetz) and Civil Code (ABGB), which set specific requirements for content, notice periods, and delivery methods. The letter is used by both landlords and tenants, though requirements differ depending on who initiates the termination. When drafted by a landlord, it must include legally valid reasons for termination, while tenants generally don't need to provide specific reasons. The document must contain precise identification of the rental property, clear termination dates, and all legally required formal elements to be valid under Austrian law.
