This Joint Lease Agreement is designed for use in Switzerland when multiple tenants wish to rent a property together, creating a shared responsibility for the lease obligations. The document is structured in accordance with Swiss federal law, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations (OR) Articles 253-274g, and applicable cantonal regulations. It's commonly used for shared residential accommodations, student housing, or commercial premises with multiple business tenants. The agreement includes essential provisions for rent payment, maintenance, utilities, and the joint and several liability of tenants, while also addressing specific requirements of Swiss tenancy law such as security deposit regulations and formal notice requirements. It's particularly important as it establishes clear legal relationships between the landlord and all tenants collectively, as well as defining the internal arrangements between co-tenants.
