FAQ Contract Cancellation

Which contracts should I terminated when I leave Germany?

Planning your move to a new country involves canceling various contracts to ensure a smooth transition. Here are some key contracts you should consider canceling:

  • Rental Contract: Notify your landlord in advance and terminate your rental contract according to the agreed-upon notice period. Make sure to settle any outstanding payments and arrange for the return of keys or security deposits.
  • Utilities (Electricity, Gas, Water): Contact your utility service providers to cancel your electricity, gas, and water contracts. Settle any final bills and make arrangements for the disconnection of services. This ensures a seamless transition and avoids unnecessary charges.
  • Internet and Cell Phone Contracts: Get in touch with your internet and cell phone providers to discuss canceling or transferring your contracts. Inquire about any termination fees, notice periods, and the return of equipment. Explore options for international services or find out if you can suspend your contracts temporarily.
  • German Insurances: Review your insurance policies, such as health insurance, liability insurance, or car insurance. Inform your insurance providers about your relocation and discuss the cancellation or transfer process. Ensure that you have appropriate coverage in your new country of residence.
  • Employment Contract: If you are leaving your job in Germany, make sure to terminate your employment contract according to the agreed-upon terms. Coordinate with your employer regarding the final paycheck, returning company assets, and any necessary documentation.
  • Broadcasting Fee (GEZ): Contact the GEZ (Gebühreneinzugszentrale) to inform them about your move and cancel your broadcasting fee payment. Provide them with your new address if required by local regulations.
  • Gym Memberships: If you have gym memberships in Germany, check the terms and conditions for cancellation procedures. Notify the gym and follow the necessary steps to terminate your membership. Avoid unnecessary fees by providing appropriate notice.
  • Subscriptions and Memberships: Evaluate any subscriptions or memberships you hold, such as magazine subscriptions, club memberships, or streaming services. Cancel these subscriptions or explore options for transferring or suspending them during your time abroad.
  • Child Benefit, Daycare, School, and Kindergarten: If you receive child benefit or have children enrolled in daycare, school, or kindergarten, notify the relevant authorities about your relocation. Follow the necessary procedures to cancel or transfer these services.

Remember, the specific contracts you need to cancel may vary depending on your circumstances and destination country. It’s advisable to review all your contractual obligations, consult with professionals when needed, and make sure to provide appropriate notice and settle any outstanding payments.

How does ordinary and extraordinary termination work for contract cancellation?

When canceling a contract, you have two options: ordinary termination and extraordinary termination. Here’s what you need to know:

Ordinary Termination: With ordinary termination, you can cancel your contract within the terms specified in the agreement without having to provide a reason. It allows you to end the contract within the agreed-upon period mentioned in the contract.

Extraordinary Termination: Extraordinary termination refers to canceling a contract outside the specified contract period. To terminate a contract extraordinarily, you typically need to provide valid reasons supported by relevant documents. For instance, if you are planning to move abroad, you can submit a deregistration confirmation or a new employment contract to justify your request for special termination rights.

It’s important to note that the specific requirements for extraordinary termination may vary depending on the contract and the applicable laws. Review your contract terms to understand the specific documents or proof needed for extraordinary termination.

What is a “Sonderkündigungsrecht”?

The comprehensive translation of the German word “Sonderkündigungsrecht” is “special termination right” or “extraordinary termination right.” It refers to the legal provision or entitlement that allows a party to terminate a contract outside of the regular termination period due to specific circumstances or valid reasons.

When Extraordinary Termination is Possible in Long-Term Contracts and Insurance Policies:

  • Long-Term Contracts with Price Increases or Changes in Terms and Conditions: If there are sudden price increases or changes in the terms and conditions of a long-term contract, it is often possible to terminate the contract extraordinarily.
  • Contracts with Unilateral Changes: If one party unilaterally changes the contract without the other party’s consent, the affected party may have the right to terminate the contract extraordinarily.
  • Insurance Policies: Some insurance policies, such as health insurance or liability insurance, may allow for extraordinary termination in specific situations, such as premium increases or reductions in benefits.
  • Motor Vehicle Insurance Policies: Motor vehicle insurance policies may have special termination rights in case of premium increases, changes in the no-claims class, or when purchasing a new vehicle.
  • Statutory Health Insurance: In statutory health insurance, special termination rights may apply in cases of premium increases, cancellation or reduction of contractually guaranteed benefits, or non-compliance with agreed benefits in case of need.
  • Private Health Insurance: Private health insurance may have special termination rights in certain circumstances, such as a significant decrease in earnings or changes in the insured person’s entitlement to statutory compulsory insurance.
  • Liability Insurance: Liability insurance policies may be subject to special termination rights if the insurer increases premium payments without improving services.
  • Energy Supply Contracts: Energy supply contracts, such as gas and electricity contracts, may have special termination rights in case of price increases or changes in service availability at a new place of residence.
  • Telecommunications Contracts: Telecommunications contracts, including DSL, cable, or telephone contracts, may allow for special termination in case of price increases or unavailability of contracted services at a new residence.
  • Tenancy Agreements: Tenancy agreements may have special termination rights in cases of rent increases or changes in contract terms, as well as in situations involving the death of a tenant or refusal of subtenancy without valid reasons.
  • Building Savings Contracts and Building Societies: Building savings contracts and construction financing agreements may have special termination rights in specific cases, such as the sale of the property before the contract term expires.
  • Fitness Studio Contracts: Fitness studio contracts may have special termination rights in certain situations, such as relocation of the studio or the member, or in case of serious illness preventing the continuation of sporting activities.

Please note that the availability of a special right of termination may vary depending on the specific contract and the applicable laws. Reviewing the contract terms, consulting with legal professionals if needed, and gathering relevant documentation to support the termination are essential.
