A practical guide to Swiss lease agreements: deposit limits, termination rules, handover protocols, and tenant rights under the Code of Obligations, with a focus on Canton Ticino.
What must a tenant pay for when returning a leased property? Normal wear and tear, current value, and depreciation tables: the legal criteria explained with a practical example.
At the end of the tenancy, the landlord must notify defects within 2–3 days. Failure to do so bars claims under tenancy law, but a claim based on tortious liability (Art. 41 et seq. CO) remains available.
