- Demand to release your rent deposit — to the landlord, or to the bank after a year (Switzerland)For tenants who have left a rented flat in Switzerland: the letter claiming back the rent deposit (Mietzinsdepot, Art. 257e of the Code of Obligations, CO). You choose who receives it: the landlord, asked to consent to the bank releasing the money, or the bank directly once a year has passed since the lease ended without the landlord pursuing a claim. It names the bank, the account, the amount, your IBAN and a reply date. Print, sign and send it registered. Swiss authorities and courts work in their official language — German, French or Italian — so this English version is for dealings between private parties.

It has lines for every tenant and for the express consent of a spouse or registered partner where the flat is the family home (Art. 266m CO). Print, sign and send by registered post (Einschreiben).
