Document background
The Early Lease Cancellation Letter is a crucial document used in Switzerland when a tenant needs to terminate their lease agreement before the originally agreed end date. It must be drafted in accordance with the Swiss Code of Obligations and relevant cantonal laws, which provide specific requirements for early lease termination. The document is typically used in situations such as job relocation, financial hardship, or when a suitable replacement tenant is proposed. It must include precise details about the rental property, clear statement of termination intention, proposed end date, and supporting documentation. The letter should be sent via registered mail to ensure proof of delivery, and timing must align with Swiss notice period requirements. This document is particularly important as it initiates the formal process of early lease termination and can have significant legal and financial implications for both parties.
