Rental law: Interim termination of rental agreement

Questioner

Tenancy law Can a tenant terminate a rental agreement for non-self-contained accommodation (student room), with a minimum term of one year, prematurely (after 8 months instead of a year)?

Questioner

The tenant can terminate a fixed-term rental agreement for non-independent residential accommodation by giving notice before the agreed end date.

Questioner

That's only true if the lease doesn't include a minimum term of one year without a prohibition on termination, and I believe that's what's included in your case. This arrangement is permitted if the lease is for a maximum of five years or less for non-self-contained space (Article 7:271 of the Dutch Civil Code).
