Notice & Demand: templates and forms
14 forms available to fill out or download.
Notice to a neighbour of damage caused
A leak from above is the commonest dispute between neighbours and is almost always conducted from memory, because nobody wrote anything down. This notice dates the event, describes the damage and invites the neighbour to a joint inspection — and a refusal to attend is itself a fact that matters later. If an insurer is involved, written notice is the first thing they will ask you for.
Demand for payment of an overdue invoice
A reminder by email is a courtesy; a demand is a document. It lists the invoices separately by number, date and amount, shows the total owed and sets a final deadline. Send it before too long has passed — the older the invoice, the more often the other side claims the work was disputed at the time.
Notice to terminate a service agreement
Ending a retainer or an ongoing service needs written notice within the period the contract sets — otherwise the contract renews and the charges carry on. The notice identifies the agreement, the termination date and the notice period, and settles the three things that are argued about afterwards: the final payment, the materials to be returned, and the accounts and access that have to be closed.
Demand for voluntary payment
A written demand is the step at which a debt stops being a conversation and becomes a matter of record. It identifies the obligation and the ground for it, gives a specific deadline, and states what follows if it is not paid. Send it so that there is a trace of its receipt — recorded delivery with a signature, or a notarial demand if the sum justifies it.
Notice of rescission for non-performance
When the other side does not perform, the contract does not fall away by itself. Rescission requires a written declaration, and before it one normally allows a further period for performance — so this document first sets out the non-performance and the period given, and only then declares the rescission. It also states what is being asked back: sums paid, items handed over, documents.
Application to terminate employment within the probationary period
While an agreed probationary period is running, the party in whose favour it was agreed may end the contract with no notice and without giving a reason. The application identifies the contract, the termination date, and that the ground is Art. 71 of the Labour Code. Check your own contract for whose benefit the probationary period was agreed before filing it.
Demand to the tenant for unpaid rent
A written demand is the step before everything else. It lists the unpaid periods one by one, gives a deadline and a means of payment, and states what follows if nothing is paid. It matters later too: without it a landlord asserts that the tenant was in default but cannot show when the tenant was told so.
Notice to the tenant of a change in the rent
A landlord cannot raise the rent by deciding to and mentioning it on the phone — the figure is agreed in the tenancy, and changing it needs agreement, which means an annex. This notice puts the proposal in writing: from what date, from how much to how much, on what ground, and by when the tenant should reply. It is the first step, not the last.
Notification of a claim event to the insurer
Written, dated notification of a loss. Insurers work with claim forms of their own, but filing those often drags — with this notice the date of notification is on record from the day you gave it. It describes the event and the property damaged, lists the documents drawn up, and says when an inspection can be carried out.
Notice to terminate a subscription contract
For a mobile operator, an internet or a television service. Ringing the call centre does not terminate a contract — the request has to be in writing and has to leave a trace of having been made. The notice identifies the contract, the service and the termination date, and asks for written confirmation and a final bill, which is exactly what is missing in a later argument about charges.
Notification to the employer of absence through illness
A sick note is issued by the doctor, but the employer has to be told that you are absent — at once, not when you come back. This document does that in writing: the date your absence starts, the number of the sick note, and how to reach you. The notification does not replace the sick note; it goes with it.
Notice of withdrawal from a distance contract
The right to return an online purchase within fourteen days without giving a reason. The period runs from when the goods were received, not from the order, and it is met if you send the notice within it — even if the goods start their journey back later. The form identifies the order and the account the refund goes to.
Notice to terminate a tenancy
The written notice by which a landlord or a tenant brings a tenancy to an end. It works from either side — you state which of the two you are. The notice period is the one in your own agreement; the termination date runs from service, not from signature. Deliver it in a way that lets you prove when it was received.
Notice of resignation (Art. 326 of the Labour Code)
When you leave of your own accord, the law wants written notice — not a conversation and not an email. This document puts it in the form Art. 326(1) of the Labour Code requires, states the notice period and names your last working day, so there is no argument about when the contract ends. The period is thirty days unless your contract says otherwise, and by law it cannot exceed three months.
