Document background
The Official Move Out Notice is a crucial document in Swiss tenancy law, required whenever a tenant intends to terminate their lease and vacate a property. This formal notice must comply with the Swiss Code of Obligations and cantonal regulations, typically requiring submission at least three months before the intended move-out date for residential properties. The document serves multiple purposes: it officially terminates the lease agreement, initiates the property handover process, and helps protect both parties' rights and obligations during the transition. The notice must include specific information such as the property details, intended move-out date, and all registered tenants' signatures. It's particularly important as it triggers legal deadlines and obligations for both parties, including property inspection arrangements and deposit return procedures.
