New COVID-19 Ordinance on Rent and Usufructuary Lease

On March 27, 2020, the Federal Council issued the new COVID-19 Ordinance on Rent and Usufructuary Lease (available in German, French and Italian).

Below is a brief summary of the most important points:

  • The time limits to be set in case of payment arrears by tenants and lessees have been extended.
  • The main question – whether rent is still owed if the rental premises can no longer be used due to the closure of publicly accessible facilities by the Federal Council – has not been answered.
  • Moving is still possible as long as hygiene and social distancing measures are observed.
