Frequent asked questions

What rules apply to the termination of lease of residential housing?

Only leases for an idefinite period may be terminated. If a lease is made for a definite period, a specific time or date, it may not be terminated unless it is specifically stated in the lease. Otherwise it will expire on the agreed date without a special notice of termination.

 If an agreement is made for an indefinite period the notice period shall be one month, in the case of individual rooms, and six months for an apartment or "dwelling". If a tenant has leased an apartment for more than five years the notice period is one year.

The notice period for termination is mutual for both parties.
