A Lease Cancellation and Termination Agreement is a legal document that is used to terminate a lease agreement between a landlord and tenant before the end of the lease term. It is important to note that many states require that the agreement be in writing and signed by both parties. The agreement will outline the terms of the lease cancellation and termination, including the date that the tenant will vacate the premises, the amount of money that the tenant must pay the landlord, and the conditions or restrictions that both parties must abide by. There are two main types of Lease Cancellation and Termination Agreements: mutual and unilateral. A mutual agreement is when both the landlord and tenant agree to the terms of the cancellation and termination. A unilateral agreement is when only one party agrees to the terms of the cancellation and termination.
