Document background
The License To Occupy Agreement is a vital instrument in the Swiss property market, offering a more flexible alternative to traditional lease arrangements. This document type is particularly relevant when parties need a straightforward, temporary arrangement for property occupation without the full implications of a tenancy agreement. It's commonly used for co-working spaces, pop-up stores, temporary offices, or short-term residential needs. The agreement must comply with Swiss property law while maintaining its distinct character as a license rather than a lease. Key elements include clear identification of the licensed area, duration, fee structure, and usage terms. The License To Occupy Agreement is especially valuable in situations requiring quick setup, minimal commitment, or specific usage restrictions, while providing adequate protection for both licensor and licensee under Swiss law.
