The Lifetime Lease Agreement is a specialized legal instrument used in Switzerland when parties wish to establish a long-term residential arrangement that provides security of tenure for the remainder of the lessee's life. This type of agreement is particularly relevant for elderly individuals seeking stable housing arrangements, estate planning purposes, or family property arrangements. The document combines elements of traditional lease agreements with specific provisions for lifetime duration, regulated under Swiss law through the Civil Code (ZGB) and Code of Obligations (OR). It requires careful consideration of both current circumstances and future scenarios, including succession planning and property maintenance over an extended period. The agreement must balance the interests of both parties while ensuring compliance with Swiss property law, tenancy regulations, and consumer protection requirements.
