In the canton of Appenzell Inner Rhodes, termination at the end of any month is customary, except at the end of December. Termination dates stated in the lease take precedence over customary dates. The notice period for flats is at least three months (Art. 266c CO).
| Area | Dates | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Entire canton | any month end except December | Any month-end except December (according to consistent market overviews); we found no official cantonal list. |
The termination dates in your lease always take precedence. For flats the notice period is at least three months (Art. 266c OR).
For a lease in Appenzell without its own termination dates, our calculator currently works with 31.03. · 30.06. · 30.09. The next reachable date: send the request by 26.12.2026, and the lower rent applies from 01.04.2027.
Where termination is possible at more dates, we deliberately use a conservative subset so that no request is sent too late.
Tenancy conciliation offices (inner and outer district)
Depending on where the flat is, the conciliation office for the inner district or the one for the outer district (Oberegg) is competent. Forms and information are available from the Ratskanzlei, Marktgasse 2, Appenzell. In tenancy matters the office sits with a chair and one representative each of the landlord and tenant organisations. Conciliation proceedings in tenancy matters are free of charge (Art. 113 CPC).
Official information and addresses
Tenants have 30 days to file after a refusal or after the landlord's 30-day answer window has passed (Art. 270a para. 2 OR). See what to do if the landlord refuses.
