To terminate the house contract, it is also necessary to add some important details. It is good to follow the below structure so that you can include all the necessary information.

• Requesting to terminate the house rent deduction
• Visiting appointment for the new tenant

House contract termination information

It is important to add the exact details of your house which includes

• Street
• House number
• Floor number
• House number on the floor (if it’s available)
• Postal code
• City
• Country

Requesting for the acceptance letter from the landlord

It’s also very important to get a reply letter from your landlord about the contract termination. Keep it safe once you get it. It will be helpful in case if there is an issue.

Requesting to terminate the house rent deduction

If your house rent was deducted automatically, then it is also necessary to mention in your contract to stop the deduction from the specific month.

If you are transferring the rent every month, it is also good to mention that you will not pay rent from a specific month.

Visiting appointment for the new tenant

Your landlord might be willing to rent the house as soon as you vacate. In that case, you can also mention that you are happy to let the new tenant visit your house by making an appointment.

Appointment for the hand-over of keys

If you have planned a specific date for moving out of the house, you can let the landlord know about it and you can hand over the keys. If you do not know the date, you can just write that you would like to make an appointment. You can make this appointment later over the phone, by email, etc.

Your new house address

It is very good to mention your new house address to get the additional costs bills (Nebenkostenabrechnung), which you may need for your tax declaration.

Bank account details

At last, it is also very important to give your valid bank details to get the deposit and additional costs money back (if applicable).

Word document

I have also uploaded the word document. Do not press enter or add text before the heading “Kündigung der Wohnung unter o.g. Anschrift” because the template is suitable to fold and send in the cover. Adding text in a new line may misalign the letter and will not be suitable for folding. You can find a suitable cover below.

This letter template was prepared using MS word 2013. If you use any other version, kindly copy and paste the above text to eliminate the alignment error.
