Notice & Demand: templates and forms

The notice by which a consumer in Romania ends a subscription — a gym, an online platform, a course, any recurring service: the contract, the notice period and end date, stopping automatic debits, and a refund of payments made in advance for the time after it ends. It notes that a term allowing no way out, or imposing disproportionate penalties, may be unfair (Law no. 193/2000).

The notice by which a consumer in Romania ends a contract with a phone, internet or TV provider and, if needed, complains about the service. It cites the rules that protect them: an initial term of at most 24 months, termination at any time after it with at most a month's notice, and termination without cost when the provider changes the contract unilaterally. It announces the return of the equipment and asks for confirmation.

The request by which an account holder in Romania stops a direct debit or a standing order: the payee, the mandate reference and the date the cancellation takes effect. Under Law no. 209/2019 a direct debit can be revoked until the end of the business day before the debit. The contract with the supplier, though, stays in force and is ended separately.

The request by which an account holder in Romania closes a current account and ends the framework agreement with the bank: the account, the closing date, the cards attached, the account to receive the balance, and the cancellation of standing orders and direct debits. The agreement can be ended at any time with at most 30 days' notice, and closing is free at the latest once the account is 6 months old (Law no. 209/2019).

The notice by which a consumer in Romania withdraws from an online, phone or off-premises purchase within 14 days — 30 if the contract was made during an unsolicited visit to the home or on an excursion organised by the trader — without giving a reason (Emergency Ordinance no. 34/2014). It identifies the product and the order, asks for every payment — standard delivery included — to be refunded within 14 days to the account given, and announces the return of the goods. It follows the content of the model in the ordinance's annex.

The notice by which the person who gave a power of attorney in Romania revokes it. A principal may revoke a mandate at any time (art. 2031 of the Civil Code), but the revocation binds the agent from receipt, and third parties only once it has been brought to their notice or they knew or could have known of it. That is why the letter asks for the power of attorney back and lists the offices and people who have been told.

The notice in which a seller tells their motor (RCA) insurer in Romania that the vehicle has been sold. A Romanian RCA policy does not pass to the buyer: the seller's contract ends on notification, and the premium for the remaining period is refunded if no compensation has been paid or is owed under the policy. The letter identifies the policy and the vehicle, gives the date of sale and the new owner, and asks for the refund to the account given.

The notice by which a landlord ends a Romanian residential tenancy. An open-ended agreement can be ended with at least 60 days' notice; a fixed-term one only if the agreement allows it, and only for the housing needs of the landlord or their family. The notice states the reason, the end date and how the home and keys are to be handed back.

The notice by which a tenant ends a Romanian residential tenancy. The Civil Code lets a tenant end even a fixed-term agreement with at least 60 days' notice, and a clause setting a shorter period has no effect. The notice gives the end date, proposes a date to hand the home back against a handover record, and asks for the deposit to be returned.
