How to Properly Terminate a Lease Agreement in Czech Law
“I want to end the lease – what are my options?”
Ending a lease in the Czech Republic depends on the type of lease, its duration, and whether the tenant or landlord initiates the termination.
A mistake in termination may result in an invalid notice, meaning the lease continues.
📃 Main Ways to Terminate a Lease:
Mutual agreement – any time, by consent.
Termination with notice – valid for open-ended leases or under specific legal conditions.
Immediate termination – only in case of serious breach.
Expiry of fixed term – for time-limited contracts.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
No legal reason provided (required by law).
Improper delivery of termination notice.
Missing or incorrect notice period.
Landlord ends the lease without a legal basis.
🧱 Real Case
Landlord wanted to terminate the lease because “his son would need the flat”.
Tenant objected. Court found the termination invalid, as this reason is not legally accepted.
Tenant stayed – landlord paid legal costs.
