Termination of the agreement in case utility bill(s) are yet to be paid

  • Updated

The landlord must initiate the termination of the rental agreement on the Rendin platform and be sure to finish it on the correct date, i.e. when the rental relationship actually ends. This rule always applies and doesn't depend on what conditions the agreement has been terminated (by mutual consent of the parties, ordinary or extraordinary termination).

It is very common for the last invoice for utility services not to have been received and/or to have reached the due date by that time. Therefore, termination of the agreement doesn't – in any way – give the tenant the right to skip paying rent or utility bills that have remained yet unpaid.

In other words: the correct agreement termination and the timely payment of the last utility bill(s) are separate activities.

 

Step-by-step termination of a termless agreement for the landlord:

  • Notify the other party.
  • Start termination in the Rendin app.
  • Meet the other party on the agreed day for the handover of the property.
  • Complete the handover act.
  • Terminate the agreement and sign digitally.
    • The tenant and the landlord receive the link to sign their e-mails once the termination process has been initiated in the Rendin app.
    • The document must be signed by the date of termination. Otherwise, the termination won't take effect, and the current financial obligations will continue (including rent, utilities, and Rendin service fee).
  • Send the last invoices to the former tenant for payment. Wait for the payments to arrive.
