Frequently Asked Questions

Can I terminate a contract early in Kenya?
Yes, if the contract includes a termination clause permitting early exit (with or without cause). Without such a clause, early termination may constitute a breach of contract, entitling the other party to damages. A termination letter formally records the end of the relationship and any outstanding obligations.
What should a contract termination letter include?
The date of termination, the contractual basis for terminating (e.g. clause reference or grounds), any outstanding amounts owed by either party, the return of property or documents, and a statement that the agreement is terminated. Keep the tone professional — the letter may be used in court.
Does a termination letter need to be sent by a specific method in Kenya?
The method of service should follow what the contract specifies (e.g. registered post, email). If the contract is silent, registered post and email both create a good record. Delivery confirmation is important — courts require evidence that the termination was actually received.
