The Pet Addendum To Lease Agreement is an essential supplementary document used in Swiss property leasing when tenants wish to keep pets in their rental units. This document becomes necessary either at the beginning of a lease term when tenants already have pets, or during the lease term when tenants wish to acquire pets. It provides detailed guidelines about permitted pets, responsibilities, and potential liabilities while ensuring compliance with Swiss federal laws, including the Code of Obligations (OR) and Animal Welfare Act (TSchG), as well as relevant cantonal regulations. The addendum protects both landlord and tenant interests by clearly defining pet-related terms, conditions, and responsibilities, while also addressing potential issues such as damage, noise, and safety concerns. Property managers and owners use this document to maintain property standards while accommodating tenants' desires to keep pets.
