Surrender of rental property (timing)

Time of surrender (return to owner)

In accordance with the relevant article of the Swiss Federal Code of Obligations (Art. 79 OR), a rental property must be returned during the course of normal business hours on the last day of the agreed rental period (date of expiry of contract). However, variations are permissible - it is accordingly advisable to refer to the signed lease agreement.

In the event that the tenant refuses to surrender the rental property within the time specified, the landlord has the legal right to have him ejected.
