Frequently asked questions: Notice of defects
A defect exists if the flat is not in the agreed or usual condition for use, e.g. mould or a faulty heating system. Notify the landlord in writing (Art. 259a et seq. CO).
That depends on the defect. For urgent defects choose a short deadline, for larger works a longer one.
The letter reserves these rights, nothing more. Whether and how much you may reduce, clarify with a tenants' advice service. AboQuit does not provide legal advice.
