The Guaranty of Lease Agreement is a crucial document in Swiss property leasing transactions, providing security to landlords while operating within strict regulatory parameters. It is typically used when a landlord requires additional security beyond the tenant's covenant, such as when leasing to individuals with limited credit history, students, or newly established businesses. The document must comply with Swiss legal requirements, including the maximum guarantee amount limitation of three months' rent under Article 257e of the Swiss Code of Obligations. This agreement details the guarantor's obligations, enforcement procedures, and protective provisions required by Swiss law. The Guaranty of Lease Agreement must be in writing and clearly specify all terms, particularly the maximum liability amount and the scope of guaranteed obligations, to ensure enforceability under Swiss law.
