How it works
We guarantee private leases exclusively.
One of the lessees must be a Swiss citizen or holder of a residence permit B or C.
- You have no deposit to make
- You return the request for rental guarantee duly signed with the copy of your lease and a piece of identity and pay us a fixed entry fee of CHF 231.- (federal stamp of 5% included), which covers your rental guarantee until 31 December of the current year.
- Once these two conditions are met, your guarantee certificate will be immediately established and sent to your rental agency as well as a copy for yourself.
- Each subsequent year you will pay an annual premium of 5% of your rental guarantee, plus the administration cost of CHF 20.- (federal stamp of 5% to be added).
EXAMPLE:
| Guarantee required by the lessor | CHF 2000.- | |
| Your guarantee deposit | CHF 0.- | |
| Fixed entry fee due at time of inscription and valid until 31 December of the current year (Federal stamp included) | CHF 231.- | |
| Following years, an annual premium of 5% of the guarantee + CHF 20.- (+ federal stamp) | CHF 126.-/year |
