Document background
The Long Term Lease Agreement is a fundamental document in Swiss property law, essential for establishing extended rental relationships for both commercial and residential properties. It's primarily used when parties intend to enter into a lease arrangement lasting several years or more, typically for commercial premises, but also for residential properties. The document must comply with the Swiss Code of Obligations and relevant cantonal laws, which provide significant tenant protections and specific requirements for lease agreements. This agreement covers critical aspects such as rent calculations, maintenance responsibilities, permitted use of the property, and termination provisions. It's particularly relevant in Switzerland's dynamic property market, where long-term leases are common in commercial sectors and where stability in rental relationships is highly valued. The document includes mandatory provisions required by Swiss law while allowing for customization based on specific circumstances and needs of the parties involved.
