Early Departure from the Apartment: Contractual Terms, Liability, and Key Return Prior to Contract End.
If you need to vacate the apartment for personal or professional reasons before the agreed minimum rental period or notice period expires, the terms of the lease agreement and the "Art. 4.1.2. Early cancellation of the contract" from the Terms & conditions apply:
4.1.2. Early cancellation of the contract
If the tenant wishes to be released from the lease agreement prematurely, Elron Club AG will attempt to find a suitable replacement tenant. Once a valid lease agreement is established with a new tenant, the current tenant will be released from liability. If no replacement tenant is found, the current tenant is liable according to the notice periods and durations specified in the lease agreement. In the event of an early contract termination, a cleaning fee and an administrative fee of CHF 500.00 for finding a replacement tenant will be invoiced.
The end cleaning will in this case be charged as follows:
- Studio CHF 890.00
- 1-bedroom CHF 990.00
- 2-bedroom CHF 1'390.00
- 3-bedroom CHF 1'590.00
It is generally not possible to be released from liability before the end of the contract. Therefore, it is recommended to plan ahead and, if necessary, agree to a shorter minimum rental period.
If you still need to move out early, you can return the keys and thus the apartment prematurely. However, you are still liable for the full rent until the end of the rental period.
