The Written Notice To Leave Apartment is a fundamental document in Swiss residential tenancy law, used when a tenant wishes to formally terminate their lease agreement. It must comply with the Swiss Code of Obligations (Obligationenrecht) and relevant cantonal regulations, which typically require specific notice periods (usually three months for residential properties) and may mandate the use of official forms. This notice initiates the formal process of lease termination and must include specific details such as the property address, termination date, and tenant information. The document is essential for maintaining legal compliance and ensuring a proper handover process. It's particularly important to note that in Switzerland, such notices must often be submitted using official cantonal forms and may need to be sent by registered mail to ensure valid delivery. The timing of the notice must align with the termination dates specified in the lease agreement and comply with local customs regarding moving dates.
