In addition, the Swiss Federal Council has also removed the indemnification maximum duration (currently 4 months) in case of reduction of working hours of more than 85%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Commercial lease<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Swiss Federal Council confirmed that tenants and landlords should enter into negotiations in order to find a suitable and pragmatic solution. At this stage, it does not wish to impose any governmental measure and intervene in the private contractual relationship between tenants and landlords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On April 6, 2020, the canton of Geneva entered into an agreement with three associations, two representing professionals of the real estate industry (USPI Gen\u00e8ve and CGI) and one representing tenants&#8217; rights (Asloca Gen\u00e8ve), relating to the payment of April 2020 rent for commercial premises. Small businesses and self-employed persons in financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 outbreak, with a maximum rent of CHF&nbsp;3&#8217;500 per month (without charges) and who were not already put on formal notice for late payment before March 17, 2020, can request from their landlord a total or partial exemption of the outstanding rent until April 20. If the landlord agrees, the canton of Geneva pays half of the granted exemption, up to 50% of the rent. This measure may be extended for the additional future rents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"template":"","auteur":[],"droit":[215],"class_list":["post-32851","actualite","type-actualite","status-publish","hentry","droit-commercial-law"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jncavocats.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/actualite\/32851","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jncavocats.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/actualite"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jncavocats.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/actualite"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jncavocats.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jncavocats.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32851"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"auteur","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jncavocats.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/auteur?post=32851"},{"taxonomy":"droit","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jncavocats.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/droit?post=32851"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
