The Lease Confirmation Letter is a crucial document in Swiss property management and real estate practices, typically issued after initial lease terms have been agreed upon but before or alongside the formal lease agreement. This document serves multiple purposes: it provides written confirmation of the essential terms of the lease, acts as an interim agreement until the full lease is signed, and can serve as evidence of the rental relationship for various administrative purposes. The letter must comply with Swiss federal and cantonal laws, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations and local tenancy regulations. It's commonly used in both residential and commercial contexts, and while shorter than a full lease agreement, it must include all legally required information to be valid under Swiss law. The Lease Confirmation Letter is particularly important in Switzerland's highly regulated property market, where formal documentation of agreements is essential for both legal compliance and practical purposes.
