Document background
The License to Occupy is commonly used in Switzerland when temporary or flexible occupation of property is required without establishing a formal lease arrangement. This document is particularly relevant for short-term occupations, pop-up venues, shared spaces, or situations requiring quick termination rights. It provides a more flexible alternative to traditional lease agreements while complying with Swiss property law requirements. The agreement typically includes specific terms about property access, usage limitations, payment terms, and termination rights, while clearly establishing that no tenancy rights are created. This type of agreement is especially useful in commercial contexts where traditional leases might be too rigid or create unwanted statutory rights.
