Document background
The Letter To Quit Tenancy is a crucial document in Dutch residential property law, used when a tenant wishes to formally terminate their rental agreement. This document must comply with specific requirements under the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek), particularly regarding notice periods and formal communication requirements. It serves as official documentation of the tenant's intention to vacate the property and includes essential information such as property details, termination date, and arrangements for property inspection and key handover. The letter is commonly used in both private and social housing sectors in the Netherlands and must be provided within the legally required notice period, typically one calendar month for residential properties. This document forms part of the formal record of the tenancy termination and can be important for both legal compliance and future reference.
