I received your query and understand you are in a difficult situation with your landlord.
Based on the details you provided, the notice to vacate your shop by the end of the month appears to be inconsistent with the legal requirements in Switzerland. For commercial properties, the statutory minimum notice period is six months, unless a different period was agreed upon in your lease. When a lease expires and the tenancy continues, it often converts to an indefinite lease, and the six-month notice period still applies.
Furthermore, the landlord is required to use an official form for the notice of termination, and the termination must align with customary local dates, not just any month-end. Given these points, the notice you received is likely invalid. You have rights as a tenant, and Swiss law provides protection against wrongful termination. In some cases of hardship, it may even be possible to request an extension of the lease for up to six years for a commercial property.
I can provide you with more detailed guidance and a step-by-step plan on how to formally respond to your landlord. I offer this consultation service via WhatsApp for a small fee.
Please let me know if you would like to proceed.
