Facture pour règlement du loyer : comment la faire et l'envoyer au locataire ?

Landlords who rent out their properties are required to provide their tenants with rent invoices. We explain what a rent invoice (or notice of rent) is, how to make one and how to send it easily. 

What is a rent settlement invoice?

If you are a landlord in Switzerland and wish to rent out your flat and do rental management, you must be able to manage invoices (or rent receipts). These invoices are the documents you need to ask the tenant to pay the rent on time. Producing and managing invoices can be a long and tedious process. Fortunately, Sherlock has a solution to help you manage and send rent invoices with ease.

Is it compulsory to provide your tenant with a bill?

Yes, in Switzerland it is compulsory for a landlord who rents out his property to provide his tenants with an invoice. Payment of the invoice then provides landlords with formal proof that the rent has been paid. Settlement of the bill also allows tenants to prove that they have fulfilled their payment obligations.

Rental management: how to make an invoice?

Making an invoice is relatively simple. All you have to do is fill in a sheet of paper with the following necessary information: 

• the name and address of the tenant;
• the amount of rent; 
• the payment due date; 
• bank details for the transfer (or other means of payment); 

Once you've created your rent payment invoice, you need to be able to send them quickly and easily to your tenants. Once the payment has been made, it then becomes official proof that the rent has been paid.
