How do I indicate that a lease can be terminated early?

For civil and commercial leases, the contract may include early termination clauses. By entering them in Smovin, you keep track of who can terminate, on which date and with what notice period.

Add an early termination

  1. Open the contract (when creating or editing it) and click the "Early breaks" step in the left-hand menu.

  2. Click "Add a contractual termination rule". The "Termination rule (optional)" window opens.

  3. Under "By the", indicate who can terminate: "Owner", "Tenant" or "Common" (both).

  4. In "Date", enter the termination date. By default, the field shows "End of contract".

  5. In "Notice period (months)", enter the number of months of notice.

  6. To add more terminations, click "Add a contractual termination rule" again. Each additional termination can be removed via the trash icon.

  7. Click "Confirm".

💡 For commercial leases of 9 years, terminations by the tenant (3-6-9) are added automatically. Check that they match what is set out in the lease.

You can edit this information at any time via the "Modify" button on the contract page.

📌 For terminations by the owner, Smovin alerts you as the deadline approaches: about 2 months before the notice period starts, the "Terminations" line in the "Tasks to do" block of your Dashboard increases, prompting you to send the notice on time.
