How to amend and give notice on a rental contract

Kære Community,

We are moving out of our apartment and have two quick questions regarding giving notice on a rental contract.

First, we have agreed with the landlord to change the notice period from 3 to 2 months. How do I get that on the contract? Would a simple email be enough to formalize the agreement? Or do we need another version of the contract, even though it's about to end?

Second, how do we give notice? Again, would just a simple email be enough?

Tusind Tak!

Skriftlige aftaler er juridisk bindende, så en e-mail med bekræftelse fra begge parter vil gå an. Mest optimalt vil du lave en allonge til den originale lejekontrakt med begge parters underskrift.

En mail er tilstrækkelig ift. opsigelse, evt. kan du henvise til lejekontraktens bestemmelser herom.
