What is a Tenancy Agreement With Guarantor?

The Tenancy Agreement With Guarantor is a vital legal instrument in the Swiss property rental market, designed to provide additional security for landlords while maintaining tenant rights under Swiss law. This document is typically used when a landlord requires extra assurance of rent payment and property maintenance obligations, often in cases of student rentals, first-time tenants, or commercial leases. The agreement must comply with strict Swiss legal requirements, particularly Articles 253-274g of the Swiss Code of Obligations for tenancy provisions and Articles 492-512 for guarantee agreements. It includes detailed specifications of the rental property, payment terms, maintenance responsibilities, and clearly defined guarantor obligations, with particular attention to Swiss law requirements regarding guarantee limitations and formal execution requirements.
