Landlord and Tenant Law in Lucerne – Expert Support for Tenants and Landlords

Whether you are renting a home or managing a property, disputes over a tenancy can quickly become stressful and complicated. Issues like defects in the property, unpaid rent, unclear lease terms or sudden termination notices can arise when you least expect them. In these situations, reliable legal advice is key.
At our boutique law firm in Lucerne, we are here to support you with clear, practical advice and extensive experience in Swiss landlord and tenant law – always focused on finding effective, efficient solutions.

We offer comprehensive legal services for both landlords and tenants, assisting you with everything from drafting and reviewing residential and commercial tenancy agreements to tailoring key contract clauses (such as rent payments, deposits, and maintenance responsibilities) to meet your specific needs.

If problems with property defects occur, we assess the situation and pursue or defend claims based on your legal rights. We advise you on all obligations related to property maintenance, repairs and remedies, ensuring you fully understand the legal consequences whether you are renting or letting.

Our expertise also covers all aspects of tenancy termination. We guide you through notice periods and termination requirements of rental flats and commercial premises, and we act swiftly if you are facing an unlawful termination or extension of the lease. We assess the chances of success and represent you throughout the procedure before the conciliation authority or the courts.

In addition, we handle the enforcement and defence of claims such as rent arrears, compensation for damages, and other contractual disputes. Should litigation become necessary, we advocate for your interests at the conciliation stage and in court, always providing clear advice on the prospects of success and the expected legal costs.

Trust our Lucerne-based law firm for specialist advice and strong representation in all landlord and tenant matters. We combine expert knowledge with a personal approach to help you navigate tenancy issues in Switzerland with confidence.
