Document background
The Early Release Tenancy Agreement is a crucial document used in the Swiss property market when a tenant needs to terminate their lease before the contractually agreed end date. This document becomes necessary in various situations, such as job relocations, personal circumstances, or mutual agreement between parties to end the lease early. It must comply with Swiss federal law, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations, and relevant cantonal regulations. The agreement typically includes detailed provisions about the release date, financial settlements, property handover procedures, and potential replacement tenant arrangements. It serves to protect both landlord and tenant interests by clearly documenting the terms of early release and ensuring all parties understand their rights and obligations. This type of agreement is particularly important in Switzerland's highly regulated rental market, where formal documentation of such arrangements is essential for legal certainty.
