Document background
The Amendment To Lease Agreement is a crucial document used in Swiss real estate transactions when parties need to modify an existing lease without creating an entirely new agreement. This document is particularly relevant when circumstances require changes to lease terms such as rent adjustments, lease duration extensions, modifications to the leased space, or updates to other contractual obligations. Governed by Swiss law, particularly the Code of Obligations (Articles 253-274g), this amendment must comply with strict form requirements and tenant protection provisions specific to Swiss jurisdiction. The document serves as an addendum to the original lease, clearly outlining which terms are being modified while explicitly stating that all other provisions remain unchanged. It's commonly used in both commercial and residential contexts, requiring careful consideration of cantonal regulations and mandatory provisions of Swiss tenancy law.
