The Guarantor Lease Agreement is essential in Swiss property leasing arrangements where additional security is required beyond a standard security deposit. This document is commonly used when a tenant's creditworthiness needs supplementary support, such as in commercial leases, residential rentals involving students or first-time renters, or high-value property transactions. The agreement must comply with Swiss law, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations Articles 492-512 governing guarantees and Articles 253-274 governing leases. For residential leases, the guarantee amount is typically capped at three months' rent. The Guarantor Lease Agreement outlines the guarantor's obligations, liability limits, enforcement procedures, and termination conditions, providing security for landlords while ensuring legal protections for guarantors under Swiss law.
