The type of tenancy agreement that has been concluded determines the date from which the tenant or landlord is permitted to terminate it and the applicable periods of notice.
Notice must always be given in writing. It must be indisputably clear to both parties that notice has been given and reached the other party. The most common method of giving notice is still by registered post. A bailiff’s notification is a more expensive option but is sometimes used if there’s uncertainty about whether a registered letter would reach the other party in good time. There’s also jurisprudence to indicate that giving digital notice via E-mail or WhatsApp message is also correct as the other party will then need to prove that they didn’t receive it in good time, but this is rather a grey area that might need to be resolved in court in the event of a difference of opinion.
