Document background
A Legal Eviction Notice is a crucial document in Swiss property management, used when a landlord needs to formally terminate a tenancy and require the tenant to vacate the property. This document must strictly comply with Swiss federal and cantonal laws, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations (Obligationenrecht) and local rental regulations. The notice is typically used in situations involving payment defaults, contract breaches, major renovations, or when the property is required for personal use by the landlord. It must include specific legally required information, proper notice periods, and clear grounds for eviction. The Legal Eviction Notice serves as the first formal step in the eviction process and can be contested by tenants through legal channels, making it essential that all formal requirements are met to ensure legal validity.
