The Early Termination of Tenancy Agreement is a crucial document used in Switzerland when either landlord or tenant wishes to end a lease agreement before its contractual end date. It must comply with Swiss federal law (particularly the Code of Obligations) and cantonal regulations, which provide specific protections for both parties. This document is typically used when tenants need to relocate unexpectedly, when landlords require the property for personal use (subject to legal justification), or when both parties mutually agree to end the lease early. It includes essential provisions for termination dates, financial settlements, property handover procedures, and the tenant's right to propose a replacement tenant under Article 264 of the Swiss Code of Obligations. The agreement helps prevent future disputes by clearly documenting the terms of early termination and ensuring all legal requirements are met.
