How it works
- Keep “I do, as the tenant” or choose the landlord.
- Enter the day the notice arrives.
- Choose the state the flat is in.
- Read the third working day, the end and the latest arrival for it.
Frequently asked questions
- By when must the notice arrive?
- By the third working day of a month (Saturday counts; a third working day on a Saturday moves to Monday); the lease then ends with the month after next (§ 573c BGB).
- Does the landlord have the same period?
- For five years. After five years since the handover it is six months, after eight years nine, and the landlord needs a ground.
- Is anything I enter sent anywhere?
- No. It is worked out in your browser.
- Is this legal advice?
- No. It applies the statutory periods; a contract, a collective agreement or a fixed-term lease can say otherwise.
