Document background
The Lease Contract Cancellation Letter is a crucial document in Austrian property law, used when either a landlord or tenant wishes to formally terminate a lease agreement. This document must strictly comply with Austrian legislation, particularly the Mietrechtsgesetz (Austrian Tenancy Act) and relevant sections of the ABGB (Austrian Civil Code). It serves as official notice of termination and must include specific details such as party information, property identification, termination date, and handover arrangements. The letter needs to respect statutory notice periods and formal requirements for delivery. It's essential for both residential and commercial leases and can be used in various situations such as end-of-term terminations, early terminations with cause, or mutual agreement terminations.
