Federal Act
on the Amendment of the Swiss Civil Code
(Part Five: The Code of Obligations)

Where the land­lord is aware of a de­fect and fails to rem­edy it with­in a reas­on­able time, the ten­ant may:

a.

ter­min­ate the con­tract with im­me­di­ate ef­fect if the de­fect renders the leased prop­erty un­fit or sig­ni­fic­antly less fit for its des­ig­nated use or renders a chat­tel less fit for pur­pose;

b.

ar­range for the de­fect to be remedied at the land­lord’s or lessor’s ex­pense if it renders the ob­ject less fit for its des­ig­nated use, al­beit not sub­stan­tially so.
