In a formal letter that I received there was a sentence
Gerne werden wir Sie aus der Haft entlassen per 31.05.2019.
It is regarding rental agreement, but the only translation for Haft, that I've found is prison and I am not being actually released from prison.
If I search for whole sentence I only find literal meaning. That's why I wonder how to properly translate it.
Is the following translation correct?
We let you go of any obligation

For me it sounds like bad German, because I don't know any other meaning of Haft than prison.
"Liability" or your "obligation" would fit much butter, because there should be used Haftung, while Haft is connected to Verhaftung as in the same context/ meaning^^.

Doesn't make sense either. "Aus der Haftung entlassen" is not a thing that one can do "per [date]". Either you are responsible, or you aren't. No date possible. (That's if Haftung is really what they mean.)

One can be "aus der Haftung entlassen werden per Datum", which means that one is no longer responsible for a liability after the specified date.

As you said that this letter is from a Swiss speaker I think this is could be Swiss dialect for "aus der Haftung entlassen am [Datum]", mean your contract ends at this date.
Nevertheless I want to point out, that there can be in fact a metaphorical meaning:
"Haft" can be interpreted as "Geiselhaft" (to held hostage), meaning that you are under some kind of oppression by the other party and this oppression will end.

No, this is just a theory evolving from the fact that the suffix "-ung" is spoken "-ig" in many Swiss dialects. Shorten the word even more leads to completly omitting it. But I am not a native speaker of any Siwss dialect so this is just guessing and linguistic intution based on my expirience with Swiss dialects.
