Is leasing a car unaffordable due to relationship breakdown?

Questioner

My partner and I are separating. We are not married and do not have a registered partnership or cohabitation contract. We only own a house together. That is being sold. What documents can I provide to my leasing company to prove that we are separating? We have a flex lease on both cars and can therefore cancel free of charge under this condition.

If you want to cancel your lease contract due to the relationship breakdown, this may depend on the terms of your lease contract with the leasing company. Most leasing companies will ask for proof that your situation has actually changed. Although in your case there is no marriage, registered partnership or cohabitation contract to end, there are some documents you can provide in support: 1. Proof of change of address: If one or both of you have moved, mail from an official institution, such as the municipality or your bank, can serve as proof of your changed living situation. 2. Sale of the joint home: The deed of sale of your joint property can serve as proof of your divorce. 3. Any correspondence or documentation surrounding the settlement of joint finances or property may also be useful. I would like to point out that it is advisable to discuss your unique situation with a lawyer or attorney before taking any action. Legal advice can help navigate the complexities of these matters to ensure that you have considered all the important points and will not encounter any future problems. You could also contact the leasing company directly to discuss what documents they require to confirm that your relationship has ended and your financial situation has changed. ---------------- Stichting Rechtswinkel.nl is a national organization with students and volunteers.
