How to manage a rental apartment? Stop the complexity for landlords
Whether you own one or more properties, whether it's in the Canton of Vaud, Geneva, Berne, Valais, Jura or Fribourg choosing to manage your rentals without a management company can quickly turn into a nightmare and a number of evenings spent in front of an Excel spreadsheet. Let's start from the beginning and put together the basics and the different steps of the management of a rental. You'll discover that while managing a rental apartment can be stressful, there is now a way to simplify your life.
To manage a rental apartment, you must first find a tenant. You can do this by publishing ads on specialized websites but at SherlockHomes, we have decided to save you time and multi-post your ads for you, and free of charge, on more than 20 real estate platforms in Switzerland. This way, your rental property will be seen by the largest number of potential tenants. We go even further and our tool even offers you to automate the choice of the candidate (but you remain master of your selection criteria, you just have to tell us everything at the time of the deposit of your ad).
Once you have found a tenant, thanks to our service of real time piloting of your rental management, you will no longer spend hours writing a lease... We take care of it! You will no longer have to send multiple emails to get the lease signed by your new tenant... We will take care of it! You won't have to think about sending the rent invoice to your tenant for payment... We'll take care of it! But of course you stay informed of everything, in real time. Either by email or by logging into your account.
The other advantage of piloting your rentals in real time: better manage unpaid rent
The other big source of stress when you're a landlord is unpaid rent. Whether you're renting out one property or several, once the lease is signed, it's important to keep a close eye on rent payments to make sure they're made on time. And we've figured it out to make your life easier.
As normal, if a rent is not paid on time, it's important to get in touch with the tenant to find a quick and efficient solution to recover that unpaid amount. Well, there too... We take care of it! We will relaunch your tenant for you in case of unpaid rent. At D+5 and D+10, he will receive an email inviting him to pay his rent promptly. And there too, we have decided that you should be kept informed of everything, in real time! You will be informed of all the steps by email or by logging into your account.
