A termination under tenancy law has a number of pitfalls that could lead to it being invalidated and should therefore be avoided. In particular, there are a number of formalities to be considered. For example, who has to give notice to whom, and what form must the notice of termination take? It is also important to ensure that the applicable deadlines are met, especially in the case of an ordinary termination. In this context, landlords in particular must ensure that their notice period to tenants is based on the duration of the tenancy. Setting a period that is too short will render the notice of termination invalid. In addition, tenants and landlords must ensure that sufficient grounds are provided for extraordinary terminations. This also applies to ordinary terminations by the landlord. Ultimately, the question of whether a warning under tenancy law is required before giving notice of termination, or whether there are reasons that make this unnecessary, is also important here.
