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

¹ A ten­ant may sub-let all or part of the prop­erty with the land­lord’s con­sent.

² The land­lord may re­fuse his con­sent only if:

a.

the ten­ant re­fuses to in­form him of the terms of the sub-lease;

b.

the terms and con­di­tions of the sub-lease are un­fair in com­par­is­on with those of the prin­cip­al lease;

c.

the sub-let­ting gives rise to ma­jor dis­ad­vant­ages for the land­lord.

³ The ten­ant is li­able to the land­lord for en­sur­ing that the sub-ten­ant uses the prop­erty only in the man­ner per­mit­ted to the ten­ant him­self. To this end the land­lord may is­sue re­mind­ers dir­ectly to the sub-ten­ant.
