How to end the rental relationship on the initiative of the tenant
The reasons and situations when rented housing or premises lose their relevance to the tenant are different. But, despite the circumstances, it is necessary to act within the law. Now there are three options for termination of the contract:
– by mutual consent;
– unilaterally;
– through the court.
It should be borne in mind that each of these methods has its own characteristics. So, if the landlord and the tenant have come to a mutual agreement, while they have no claims against each other, then they terminate the contract without unnecessary difficulties. In the case of an indefinite lease, you can refuse the premises at any time, you just need to notify the landlord and issue the appropriate documents. You can also do this when the tenant's right to terminate the transaction for certain reasons or without is prescribed in the contract.
The court is appealed if the landlord does not agree with the termination of the contract or there are a number of objective reasons that do not meet the requirements of the tenant. For example, a building may need major repairs, strong odors have appeared, the room has flooded or it has burned down. At the same time, the contract may specify situations when the termination of the relationship is allowed on the initiative of the tenant. But if the other party ignores these conditions, the case is referred to the court. When all issues are settled, it is necessary to sign a termination agreement, which is issued as the main contract. The transfer certificate must contain information with the date of transfer and the terms of repayment of lease debts (if any).
In general, it is recommended to take into account possible unforeseen situations in advance and prescribe these nuances in the documents at the stage of concluding a real estate lease transaction.
