State of play in Switzerland

Protect your interests from the moment you enter the accommodation thanks to a rigorous inventory.

In Switzerland, the entry inventory is a crucial document. It lists the condition of each room, equipment and finish at the time of handing over the keys. Upon exit, any defect not mentioned at entry will be charged to you. Our presence at your side guarantees that nothing is forgotten and that your interests are protected.

Qué incluye

  • Support during the entry inventory
  • Methodical verification of each part and equipment
  • Documentary photograph of any defect noted
  • Drafting comments and reservations to add to the protocol
  • Advice on your rights and obligations as a tenant

Preguntas frecuentes

L'property inventory est-il obligatoire in Switzerland ?
It is not legally obligatory in all cantons, but it is practiced almost systematically by the authorities. If there is no entry inventory, you risk being charged for pre-existing damage. We always recommend insisting on making one.
Can I report defects after signing?
Yes, you generally have a period of a few days to two weeks (depending on the canton and the lease) to report in writing any defects that you would not have noticed during the inventory. Send a registered letter to the management company with supporting photos.
What exactly do we check during an inventory?
We review the walls, floors, ceilings, windows, doors, locks, electrical outlets, faucets, household appliances, sanitary facilities, and any equipment provided. The general state of cleanliness is also noted. Each element is qualified (new, good, used, defective) on the protocol.
