Bus/Financial - Real Estate / leasing agreement
Swedish term or phrase: avtalet skrivas av på originalavtalet
Vid förtida avflyttning ska avtalet skrivas av på originalavtalet och ej genom ett tilläggsavtal.

In the event of moving prematurely from the premises, the agreement of the original agreement shall be terminated and not through an additional agreement.

Seems like there is some redundancy here that is confusing me.

the (surrender) agreement shall be endorsed (copied on) to the original contract document
Explanation:
As per Hans W's explanation, except signed off is a false friend of avskriva in this instance.

I - who as a law clerk used to endorse, on the life assurance policy form itself, assignments to a mortage lender - agree that it can mean written off or depreciated in an accounting context.

the agreement will be cancelled/terminated using the original agreement


Explanation:
"Skriva av" can mean to cancel something. I.e., the agreement will be terminated at an earlier date and the parties will strike the original date that is listed in the original contract and will then initialize the handwritten change instead of leaving the original agreement intact and drafting a supplemental agreement.

Sorry, I meant to write "shall."

see sentence below


Explanation:
How about looking at it from this viewpoint:
Premature vacation of the premises shall take place/be permitted through the original agreement rather than through a supplementary agreement (or original agreement, not through a....).
This is the main meaning of the sentence (in my opinion, the specific details of the way this is done, be it through signing the original in a specific position as suggested by Hans or in some other way, aren't needed here. The emphasis seems to be original agreement rather than drawing up a supplementary one).
