Document background
The Agreement To End Tenancy is a crucial document used in Hong Kong when both landlord and tenant mutually agree to terminate their tenancy relationship before the original expiry date. This document is essential for protecting both parties' interests and ensuring a clear, legally binding conclusion to the tenancy. It typically becomes necessary when circumstances change for either party, such as relocation, property sale, or other valid reasons for early termination. The agreement must comply with Hong Kong's property laws, particularly the Landlord and Tenant (Consolidation) Ordinance, and includes specific provisions for property handover, deposit returns, utility settlements, and mutual releases. It serves as a formal record of the termination terms and helps prevent future disputes by clearly documenting all parties' obligations and agreements.
