Document background
The Move Out Letter is a critical document in Swiss tenancy relationships, required whenever a tenant plans to terminate their lease and vacate a rental property. This document must be prepared in accordance with Swiss legal requirements, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations (Obligationenrecht) and relevant cantonal regulations. The letter serves multiple purposes: it provides formal notice of termination, establishes the move-out date, requests the final property inspection, and ensures compliance with statutory notice periods. Proper preparation and timing of the Move Out Letter is essential for protecting both tenant and landlord rights, facilitating the return of the security deposit, and ensuring a smooth transition of the property. The document is particularly important in Switzerland's highly regulated rental market, where specific procedures and timelines must be strictly followed.
