Can a tenancy agreement be terminated prematurely?

This depends on the type of rental agreement and the terms agreed between tenant and landlord. The termination conditions are outlined in the rental agreement.

Termination is not allowed during a fixed initial rental period, which often applies to contracts for indefinite term.

For landlords, giving notice is usually only allowed at the end of a rental period – and only if there is a lawful reason.
