Document background
The Vacate The Premises Notice is a crucial document in Swiss property law, used when a landlord or property owner needs to formally request that tenants vacate a rental property. This notice must strictly comply with Swiss federal law, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations, as well as applicable cantonal regulations. It is typically used in situations such as lease termination, property sale, major renovations, or tenant breach of contract. The document must include specific legally required information including precise identification of the property, clear vacation date, and handover requirements. Swiss law provides strong tenant protections, making it essential that this notice meets all formal requirements to be legally enforceable. The notice periods and formal requirements vary depending on whether the property is residential or commercial, and specific cantonal rules may apply.
