If you want to give up your flat without complying with the notice period, you can be released from your obligations before the lease expires if you meet the following conditions:

Present a successor tenant

You must present a successor tenant who is solvent and reasonable for the landlord. He or she must also be willing to take over the lease on the same terms.

Notes to be observed

According to the general rental conditions and the framework contract for Western Switzerland, you must give at least 30 days' notice before the 15th or the end of the month. The notice period does not start to run until the replacement candidate has been presented.

The letter of termination

The letter of termination must be sent to the property management by registered mail and signed by all co-tenants. In the case of family accommodation, the husband and wife or both registered partners must sign. It must include the date of return and the address of the residential property you are renting. The notice period begins on the day the letter is received.

The landlord's obligation

The landlord is not obliged to enter into a tenancy agreement with the person you have presented, but you are released from your obligations if the applicant you have presented meets the above conditions. If you do not find a new tenant, you must pay the rent until the next contractual or statutory notice period.
