Then you must 'terminate' the rental contract. These are the legal terms:
For example: you've sent a notice letter on December 12 by registered mail. The landlord was able to receive the letter on December 14. The notice period then starts on January 1 and runs until March 31.
To determine exactly what conditions you must comply with, it is important to answer the following questions:
Then you stop the rental contract by mutual agreement. You decide together when the rental contract ends. You can also agree on other things. You put the mutual agreement on paper to avoid discussion. With this agreement you deviate from the law.
For example: you and the landlord agree in WhatsApp messages that the rental contract ends on January 1st. Afterwards, the landlord requests that you respect a notice period of 3 months, and that you should stay until April 1st. The landlord can no longer ask this.
