Real estate contract
Hi everyone -
I am translating a Swiss real estate contract and I am not sure how to render the phrase " terme de résiliation" in English.
I think it may be something along the lines of "notice period" but I am not sure.
Here's the context:
Le locataire peut contester le montant du rent et en demander la diminution pour le prochain terme de résiliation, s'il a une raison d'admettre que la chose louée procure au bailleur un rendement excessif au sens des articles 269 et 269a, à cause d'une notable modification des bases de calcul, résultant en particulier d'une baisse des frais.
Thanks for any help!

The tenant can dispute the amount / level of rent, and ask for a reduction at the next renewal date.
the Swiss version follows a kind of "mirror logic" - instead of saying that it's a date when the contract can be renewed, it calls it the date when the contract can be terminated - which is also perfectly true, but not the way it's usually presented in UK - nor in France.

Comment: "I think that you are right that "terme" here refers specifically to a date rather than a "duration" or "terme."
Thanks for the help!"

renewal period
It seems to me they are talking about the next rental period before the lease can be terminated — though I'm not sure we'd really express it that way round in EN!
Perhaps this would convey the right idea in a more natrual way?

Let's face it, the use of 'pour' certainly suggests a 'period', otherwise one might reasonably expect 'à partir de...' etc.

Daryo
: you could see it also that way: a reduced rent applicable for the next period or applicable from the next renewal date, depending on the sentence. // it's SWISS French - expect anything.

Thanks, Daryo! To me, the use of the word 'term' definitely implies a 'duration' rather than 'one moment in time'.

: Don't we call this sort of document a rental agreement or a lease?
