For sending a notice to landlord about moving out, which registered mail should I use from the two circled ones?

Also, what is the convention to do it? Should I call her first? She's never caused me any problems or bothered me at all. So I feel like she deserves to know first? (Sorry I've never done this before)

The address on the contract is of the property management company, not the landlord's own address, thus I think she's an employ at that company. So do I need to give the notice to her, or to the company? If I send the registered mail to the address on the contract, it'll reach the company and bypass the landlord.

Please give me a basic guide on how to do this.

  2. Einwurf-Einschreiben. Personal Delivery can backfire if nobody is there to actually take it.

  3. The first one is common. But ask the landlord for a confirmation of the notice or a signed copy back.

    The options you listed can be used to confirm you sent an envelope to a landlord, but they don’t say anything about the content of it. So the landlord can ignore it, and then claim at court that you just sent them a “happy new year” letter and nothing else. This is very rare, but can happen.

    The other option is personal delivery with a witness or the absolute overkill and 100% guaranteed is to hire a Gerichtsvollzieher.

  4. Einwurf-Einschreiben is the best choice. So you have proof your landlord has got the letter in his mailbox and this is enough.

    Einschreiben ist Tricky, because your landlord has to be at home or needs to collect the letter from the next Post-Store and if he forgets this or he don’t want your letter he’ll never received it ant it’ll never take effect.

  7. Always Einwurf-Einschreiben! Because with personal delivery, the recipient can refuse acceptance and the letter is considered undelivered and will be returned to the sender. With Einwurf-Einschreiben, the letter is considered delivered when it is posted in the mailbox and is thus documented by the postman.
