Lease law is an important area that concerns all individuals or businesses, whether they are landlords or tenants. At MWR Avocats, our specialized lawyers are regularly called upon to resolve various types of disputes related to this field.
In the area of tenancy law, our lawyers can assist clients as lessors, tenants, owners or usufructuaries in the management of their cases before the tenancy and rental jurisdiction. MWR Avocats' attorneys can advise on procedures for contesting notices of termination, rent deposit, rent reduction, contesting the initial rent, opposing a rent increase, and can also participate in the drafting of lease agreements.
We also deal with neighborhood conflicts, as well as disputes between co-owners, for which we advise and represent the co-owners of the floor (PPE) and the administrators of co-ownerships.
In short, our specialized lawyers can help you navigate the complexities of leasing law, either by seeking a conciliatory solution or by bringing proceedings to a conclusion. We also provide advice to real estate agencies in these areas.
Managing rental disputes
Tenancy law proceedings in Switzerland are designed to resolve disputes between landlords and tenants. Disputes may arise for a variety of reasons, such as non-payment of rent, damage to the dwelling or violations of the obligations of the lease contract.
When a dispute arises between the parties, legal proceedings may be initiated to resolve the situation. Lease disputes are generally handled by the Leasehold Tribunal. Court proceedings can be lengthy and costly, so it is always best to try to resolve the dispute amicably before turning to the courts.
It is important to understand the procedures in Swiss tenancy law in order to know how to manage disputes that may arise between landlords and tenants. If you are unsure of the procedures to follow, it is recommended that you consult a lawyer specializing in tenancy law for personalized legal advice.
Landlords and tenants: tips
As landlord and tenant lawyers, we know how stressful and costly landlord and tenant disputes can be. However, there are simple ways to prevent these disputes by following proper legal advice.
For tenants, it is important to understand your rights. Make sure you understand the terms of your lease, if possible, before you sign it.

Landlords can also take steps to prevent disputes. It is important to ensure that the lease agreement strictly complies with legal requirements. If you have any questions or doubts, do not hesitate to consult a lawyer who specializes in rental disputes.

Lease law issues
Leasehold law is a set of legal rules that govern the relationship between landlords and tenants with respect to the rental of residential or commercial space.
A lease agreement can be drafted by a lease lawyer, a real estate company or directly by the parties. However, it is strongly recommended that a lawyer be involved to avoid errors and to ensure that all legal obligations are included.
The responsibility for the repair of the dwelling depends on the type of lease (commercial, residential, vacation, etc.). In general, the landlord is responsible for the maintenance of the structure of the dwelling and the common equipment, while the tenant is responsible for routine maintenance and minor repairs.
Yes, in general a lease can be terminated early, but there are conditions to be met. As with any contract, in the event of non-performance by one party, the other party may terminate the contract under certain conditions. It is recommended to consult a lawyer specialized in lease law for more information.
The maximum amount of the deposit depends on the type of lease. In general, the deposit cannot exceed three months' rent for a residential lease and six months' rent for a commercial lease.
