Document background
The Vacate Notice is a crucial document in Swiss property law, used to formally terminate lease agreements for both residential and commercial properties. It must strictly comply with the Swiss Code of Obligations and cantonal regulations, which require the use of an official form approved by the relevant canton. The document serves as formal notification of lease termination and must include specific details such as party information, property details, termination date, and tenant rights information. It's essential in situations where either the landlord or tenant wishes to end the lease agreement, whether at the end of a contracted period or during it (subject to legal notice periods). The notice must be served within specified timeframes and through appropriate channels to be legally valid under Swiss law.
