Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the parties concluded a lease despite a written-form reservation in the draft contract
Decisione estratta
Yes. The reservation of written form was waived by subsequent conduct, so the lease became binding from 1 September 2006.
Motivazione estratta
The parties exchanged contract versions, handed over and accepted the keys, and the tenant requested removal of fixtures and lamps. These acts showed they considered themselves bound before signature and waived the reserved form under Art. 16 OR.
