Document background
The Vacation Rental Contract serves as a legally binding agreement between property owners/managers and temporary occupants for holiday accommodation in Switzerland. This document is essential for protecting the interests of all parties involved in short-term vacation rentals, ensuring clear understanding of rights, responsibilities, and terms of use. It is specifically designed to comply with Swiss legal requirements, including the Swiss Code of Obligations and relevant cantonal regulations governing tourism and short-term rentals. The contract covers crucial elements such as rental periods, payment terms, security deposits, property usage rules, and maintenance responsibilities, while incorporating specific provisions for holiday rentals that distinguish it from standard residential leases. It is particularly important for properties in tourist areas and must account for local tourism taxes and regulations.
