best law firm. I have terminated my lease as of August 31, 2017. My landlord is very annoying and wants me to pay back the rent reduction plus the rent next month, but I still get essential costs back {energy plus Euro 2700.00 deposit back. Am I obliged to pay this back now? yours sincerely!Lawyer
Your rental contract states that you have a notice period of at least one month. Now that you are not cancelling until next year, you are very early. It is not permissible for costs to be claimed in advance. Rent arrears may be offset against the security deposit. A landlord may not withhold the security deposit pending a final settlement from, for example, an energy supplier. If desired, you can contact me directly.Questioner
Thank you very much for your response. I had to cancel as of August 1, 2016 because the contract states that I should cancel six months in advance. So! Sorry I made a mistake in the previous message my contract started on February 1, 2015, Then I can leave the building on August 31st. Hopefully I will hear from you. Thanks again!!! Yours sincerely.Lawyer
You must adhere to the notice period. This is the same as the payment period: a minimum of 1 month and a maximum of 3 months. Usually, a payment period of 1 month applies. Does the rental contract state a longer notice period than the payment period? In that case, you also have to give notice a maximum of 1 payment period in advance (a minimum of 1 month and a maximum of 3 months). So the landlord is not in his right. And this condition is unreasonably onerous. You must cancel the lease in writing and by registered letter. You do not have to give a reason. Are you renting an independent home for a fixed period (fixed-term rental contract) longer than 2 years? Then you can only terminate the rental when that period has expired. You can only terminate earlier if the landlord agrees to this.Questioner
