Document background
The 14 Day Notice To Vacate is a critical document used in Swiss property management when immediate action is required to terminate a tenancy. This notice is typically employed in situations where standard notice periods are not appropriate, such as serious breaches of the lease agreement, non-payment of rent, or other urgent circumstances as defined under the Swiss Code of Obligations. The document must strictly comply with Swiss federal and cantonal requirements, including proper format, delivery method, and content specifications. It serves as the first formal step in the expedited eviction process, providing clear documentation of the landlord's intentions and the tenant's obligations. The notice must include specific details about the property, parties involved, vacation deadline, and legal basis for the shortened notice period to be considered valid under Swiss law.
