The Lodger Tenancy Agreement is specifically designed for situations where a property owner wishes to rent out a room or rooms in their primary residence while continuing to live in the property. This arrangement, common in Swiss urban areas and around educational institutions, requires a carefully structured agreement that balances the rights of both parties under Swiss law. The document addresses unique aspects of shared living, including use of common areas, privacy considerations, and house rules, while ensuring compliance with Swiss rental regulations, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations (OR) and cantonal requirements. It's particularly relevant for property owners seeking to generate additional income, students, young professionals, or temporary residents needing flexible accommodation arrangements. The agreement includes essential provisions for rent, deposits, utilities, maintenance responsibilities, and termination procedures, adapted to the specific context of shared living arrangements.
