Do you own property in Switzerland and are learning how to rent it out? The next crucial step is choosing a tenant. To make this task easier, here are a few tips on what to look for in a tenancy file. Also, find out how SherlockHomes' rental management service will help you automate this process completely!
When you receive a rental file, several éléments are à contrôler en priorité.
Start by confirming the identity of the prospective tenant
Examine its rental history, consulting the references of previous owners.
Then check the applicant's financial situation. In Switzerland, it is not uncommon to ask for a rental guarantee certificate and a certificat de solvabilité.
You can also check the validity of the employment contract and verify that the amount of the salary is in line with the sums actually received, make sure of the nature of the employment contract, etc.
In some cities, such as Geneva or Lausanne, demand for accommodation is particularly high, and choosing the right tenant from dozens of rental applications can become a real challenge.
With the rental management SherlockHomes, you have the option of activating a function called "Autopilot", which allows you to take over the task of studying the rental file of the various candidates and choosing the best profile. This is an automated solution that selects the best tenant profile for you based on their rental file and your predefined selection criteria.
More specifically, once we have checked your identity, your (blank!) statement of proceedings and your solvency criteria, we will automatically select the best file for you. Once we have selected the best files, and if the SherlockHomes Autopilot function is activated, we take over the crucial step of selecting your tenant, automatically choosing the most solvent file according to your previously defined criteria.
Thanks to this new approach, we can offer you an unparalleled user experience and optimum security. Our rental management solution has been designed for all private owners who want to increase efficiency and peace of mind. Thanks to our automated service, you will no longer have to wait just 5 days for a tenant to move in, whereas a traditional estate agency often takes a minimum of 15 days.
With the Autopilot function activated, we control the broadcasting of your advert, the management of requests and the scheduling of visits. But even more than that, we'll take care of examining your applicants' rental files for you, and select the most suitable profile for you. As a result, you can manage your property with greater ease and security, whether you are based in Geneva, Lausanne, Fribourg or elsewhere in Switzerland.
If the idea of choosing the right tenant and checking their rental file is a problem for you, remember that SherlockHomes' Autopilot function is the one to make the task easier!
