Generally a lease or rental agreement is for a fixed term (e.g. one year), which means that the Landlord and Tenant are contractually bound for the duration of the lease termโ€”the Tenant must continue paying rent and the Landlord must continue to allow the occupancy of the premises for the entire term of the lease. However, under certain circumstances, both the Landlord and the Tenant may wish to end the lease prior to the expiration of the lease term. In this case, the Landlord and Tenant should enter a lease termination agreement. This agreement is simply a written record of their agreement to end the lease early. By entering into this type of agreement, the parties can avoid many future problems and misunderstanding surrounding the termination of the lease.

  • For those who have decided to end their rental agreement due to dissatisfaction with the property or landlord, this form serves as a formal notice of termination. It allows both parties to agree on the terms and conditions for vacating the premises without further complications.
  • Landlords may also require this agreement when they wish to end a lease early due to tenant violations or property issues. By using this form, landlords can ensure that the termination is legally binding and that they are protected from future claims.

Do Not Use If:

  • โ€“ If there are ongoing disputes between the landlord and tenant regarding lease violations, it is advisable to resolve those issues before considering a lease termination agreement.
