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

¹ Where the less­ee re­turns the ob­ject without ob­serving the no­tice peri­od or the dead­line for ter­min­a­tion, he is re­leased from his ob­lig­a­tions to­wards the lessor only if he pro­poses a new less­ee who is ac­cept­able to the lessor, solvent and will­ing to take on the lease on the same terms and con­di­tions.

² Oth­er­wise, the less­ee must con­tin­ue to pay the rent un­til such time as the lease ends or may be ter­min­ated un­der the con­tract or by law.

³ Against the rent ow­ing to him the lessor must per­mit the fol­low­ing to be brought in­to ac­count:

a.

any ex­penses he has saved, and

b.

any earn­ings which he has ob­tained, or in­ten­tion­ally failed to ob­tain, from put­ting the ob­ject to some oth­er use.
