I have been given a rental contract for a fixed period (3 years). In the meantime, 2 years of that contract have expired and I would like to terminate the contract because I have my eye on a house to buy.\n\n The lease agreement contains two contradictory passages:\n\n 3.2: During the stated period [the 3-year rental period] the parties may NOT terminate the agreement prematurely by giving notice.\n\n 3.5: Termination during the term is only possible by registered letter, with effect from a new payment period and with due observance of a notice period of two calendar months.\n\n Can I cancel my rental contract or not?\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n You have a rental contract for 3 years and are stuck with it until then. However, a notice period for a tenant is monthly and not 2 months. However, any termination would only be attempted through the court.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e \nI suspect that the termination option of 3.5 is related to an extension of a second period in which termination is possible. If you pay the rent every two months, the two-month notice period is correct, otherwise not. In my opinion, the termination is now also not possible without being obliged to pay compensation for lost rent. These rents must really be lost: if the property is quickly rented out again after termination of the contract, the landlord is not entitled to more.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55017714188637,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-43190-via-een-verhuurbedrijf-huur-ik-een-woning-ik-heb-daarbij-een-huurcontract-gekregen-voor-bepaalde-ti","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
