The procedure for terminating a lease must be followed in order to be able to move out of your home without any problems and into a new flat to rent. We will help you to determine the time frame for sending your notice of termination of the lease.
When should I send my notice of termination of the lease?
Are you coming to the end of your lease? You need to check the expiry date in your rental contract and the length of your notice period. You can use this information to determine when to send your letter and thus comply with the lease termination procedure. To do this, you can use the lease termination calculator proposed by PlanYourMove, which will guide you through this process. Let’s take an example. Your lease ends on 31 December 2022, and your notice of termination is 3 months. In this case, the letter must reach the landlord by 1 October at the latest. To ensure that it arrives on time, with the 7-day retention period, it is advisable to send your registered letter by 19 September at the latest.
How do I give notice of early termination of a lease?
Sometimes you can find a flat to rent before you have given notice of termination of the lease and at a date far from the end of the contract. In this case, a letter of early termination must be sent. The notice period must be respected, but leaving a flat is possible at any time. In Switzerland, however, it is not so easy to leave a rental property. You will first have to find a replacement tenant. This involves placing an advertisement, showing the property, and collecting applications until one of them is accepted by the landlord or the property management company.
What support is needed to validate the notice of termination of a lease?
Whether you are looking for a new home or want to find a replacement tenant to free yourself and validate your lease termination notice, SherlockHomes allows you to simplify your procedures thanks to the early termination letter generator, the possibility of placing an ad free of charge, as well as the services for scheduling visits or compiling the rental file online.
