Rental contract - What's the "Ref.-Nr."?

Real Estate
1

So I have picked tenants and I am drafting the contract. I am using the HEV template, which is basically the same as this one:

I think I filled all the important parts, but I HAVE NO CLUE what the field “Ref.-Nr.” on the top right is supposed to be and whether I should fill it. Any help?

Thanks!

thats an internal reference number you define yourself to know which contract # this is. Irrelevant.

I’d input the year of the contract into it to make future filing and fiscal references easier. I may also try to input something that refers to the property in case you have more of them at a later stage and would probably input the month too, with something like ZH01-2024-07-01 (Place and #increment of the property, year, month, #increment of the contract).

On a joking tone, you could make it a very high number with fancy references to make yourself look important.

Edit: I’d also probably start with a “C” to make it “Contract” so as to use a similar reference for bills, statements, reports and other stuff related to the same property.

And a error correcting code to allow for automatic OCR with error correction :stuck_out_tongue:

I wholeheartedly agree with the spirit of @cray’s post.

Though to be clear:

Those are the EGID and aWN lines (I would have expected EWID instead of aWN, this must be Kanton dependent) located lower on page 1 of the template provided by Giff.

Yes those numbers I found and filled correctly. Thanks everyone for the help.

I actually I had the contract checked by a legal service but they forgot to say anything about the reference number and then went for an early firabig, therefore the question.
