I. Required Documents

Individuals wishing to register the termination of a lease agreement must provide several essential documents.

This includes a plain and registered copy of the original lease agreement.

If the termination documents are prepared by a lawyer, an original copy must be submitted along with other legal copies of the termination contract.

If the termination documents are notarized, the original transfer card related to the termination and a copy must be presented.

Additionally, registration fees must be settled, and the documents obtained within 24 hours of registration.

The treasury always retains an original copy of the documents, while the registration office keeps the original and another legal copy, requiring the service applicant to submit four legal copies for registration due to the treasury’s retention of two copies.

II. Registration Location

For documents drafted without notarial amendments, they are registered at the relevant treasury office where the property is located.

Documents notarized by a notary public are registered at the relevant treasury office territorially based on the location of the notary’s office.

III. Registration Fees

The termination contract is registered with a nominal fee of 30 dinars if terminated within three days from the date of the original contract.

If the termination exceeds this period, the same registration fees as the original contract apply.

If the termination involves a property purchase contract, the property transfer fee is not charged twice but is considered fixed upon registration of the termination, with remaining fees calculated similarly to those for the original contract registration.

IV. Registration Process

To legally terminate a contract, all involved parties must personally identify themselves by signing before the civil registry authorities at the municipal level, along with presenting a property clearance certificate for the subject of the sale.

Subsequently, it is necessary to visit the treasury office and submit at least three legal copies of lawyer’s books or a notarized deed transfer card, along with a copy thereof and copies of annual receipt settlements for the contracting party over the past three years. Registration fees are settled and a receipt obtained within 24 hours of registration.

For contracts executed without notarial amendments, registered books and their clearance receipt are obtained and submitted, accompanied by birth certificates of the concerned parties to the regional property administration services.

As for notarial deed transfer cards, the clearance receipt is obtained and presented to the notarial deed in order to obtain the usual evidence and submit it to the regional property administration services, accompanied by the birth certificate of the persons concerned.

V. Registration Deadlines

Contracts for termination must be registered within 60 days from the date of notarization. If this period is exceeded, late fees will be charged accordingly.

VI. Conclusion

Registering the termination of a lease contract requires meticulous procedures and adherence to specific legal requirements.

By submitting the required documents within the designated timelines, and in cases of delay, late fees are applicable. All parties involved must ensure full compliance with local procedures to safeguard the legality and validity of the process.
