Document background
The Move Out Notice Letter to Tenant is a crucial document in Swiss property management and rental relationships, required whenever a landlord wishes to terminate a rental agreement in accordance with Swiss law. This document must strictly comply with the Swiss Code of Obligations (OR) and relevant cantonal regulations, which mandate specific notice periods, formal requirements, and the use of official cantonal forms. The notice must be provided within legally prescribed timeframes (typically three months for residential properties) and must contain all legally required information, including precise identification of the rental property, clear termination dates, and proper party details. For married couples or registered partnerships, separate notices must be served to each partner. The document serves as the formal initiation of the termination process and forms the basis for subsequent move-out procedures, property inspections, and security deposit returns.
