The termination of a shared lease has some specificities compared to the termination of a conventional rental lease. But what are these specificities? What is the notice period and what are the steps to take? Responses.
Termination of a shared lease: notify your roommates
Before you even send a Swiss lease termination letter, you should let your roommates know as soon as possible that you want to terminate your roommate lease. This will allow everyone to organize themselves and the rest of the roommate to decide if they want to take over the room that is about to become vacant or if they want you to find a new roommate.
Once all the joint tenants have agreed on this point, it is essential to obtain the agreement of the lessor on the proposed new tenant. This first step of terminating a flatshare lease is not official, but makes life easier for the flatshare and leaving on good terms.
Termination of a joint tenancy agreement
Joint tenancy is the most common form of joint tenancy. If you and your roommates have signed the lease contract together, then you are in a joint tenancy. That is to say that the different tenants have equal rights and can therefore only terminate together. When the joint tenancy is dissolved, the Swiss lease termination letter intended for the lessor must be signed by all the members.
If only one person wishes to terminate a joint tenancy, the agreement of the lessor is required. The roommate in question must first send a letter of termination of the Swiss lease to the lessor who, upon receipt, generally accepts the departure as long as the other roommates agree. In general, it is up to the person who wishes to leave the accommodation to find a new tenant during his notice of termination of the lease.
The notice for the termination of a shared tenancy is written in the lease. It is generally for a period of three months. All the joint tenants as well as the lessor must however agree on the choice of the new tenant. A new colocation lease is then signed.
