Extraordinary termination
Extraordinary termination ends a tenancy early or on shortened notice when legally recognised special grounds exist.
Extraordinary termination departs from ordinary notice periods and termination dates. Swiss tenancy law permits it only in specific situations, such as serious breach, default in rent after proper warning, impossibility of use, bankruptcy-related issues, or other legally recognised grounds. Because it cuts short the expected duration of the lease, formal steps and timing are important. A party receiving such notice may contest it before the competent conciliation authority if the requirements are disputed.
