Mutual Agreement to Terminate Lease Agreement Zoetermeer

Mutual Agreement to Terminate Lease Agreement Zoetermeer

Mutual agreement means that in Zoetermeer both landlord and tenant voluntarily agree to the termination of the lease agreement. This is ideal when the tenancy no longer fits the situation, without disputes or breaches. In Zoetermeer, under the District Court The Hague, the tenancy then ends smoothly and amicably.

When to choose mutual agreement in Zoetermeer?

In Zoetermeer, mutual agreement is suitable for:

• Tenant finds a house elsewhere and landlord kindly agrees to termination.
• Landlord wants to occupy or sell the property themselves, tenant agrees without proceedings.
• Changes due to divorce, job outside Zoetermeer or family changes.
• No debts or conflicts, so no formal notice period required.

More flexible than termination with notice period or unilateral termination by landlord.
