Document background
The Tenant Notice To Vacate Letter is a crucial document in Swiss tenancy law, required when a tenant wishes to formally end their lease agreement. This document must be prepared in accordance with Swiss federal legislation, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations (OR), and relevant cantonal laws, which set specific requirements for notice periods and formal communication. The notice must be provided in writing and typically needs to be sent by registered mail or delivered with acknowledgment of receipt. This document is used to protect both parties' interests by clearly stating the intention to terminate the lease, specifying the vacation date, and providing necessary details for the final settlement of the tenancy. The letter should be drafted carefully to ensure it meets all legal requirements and includes all necessary information to facilitate a smooth transition of the property.
