Thinking of renting in Switzerland? Ask yourself these 3 questions before you sign.
What happens if I need to move out early?
– In Switzerland, breaking a lease isn’t as simple as giving notice. If you don’t follow the exact process, you could end up paying rent for months after leaving.
Am I responsible for that cracked tile or old stain?
– Many tenants are shocked to lose part of their deposit for “wear and tear” they assumed was the landlord’s problem.
Can I sublet or share the apartment later?
– That flexibility you assume you’ll have? It might be forbidden, hidden deep in a clause you didn’t notice.
These issues don’t come up when everything goes right.
They show up when life changes, and your lease doesn’t fit anymore.
At Desmos, we help tenants catch what most people miss:
– Hidden costs
– Traps buried in standard leases
– Rights you didn’t know you had
A simple review now can protect your money, your peace of mind, and your ability to move freely when you need to.
