What do landlords ask before they accept a new tenant?
Swiss landlords are much less carefull than their American, French or British counterparts when it comes to selecting a tenant. With a good reference letter from our part, the only element that most landlords will ask is a 3 month deposit. If you don’t want to tie the cash down, there are several insurance companies that can vouch for you against a yearly payment. Basically it is a first-come, first-served game in most areas. Some highly prized buildings might favor stable tenants but this is rare. If you are a wealthy celebrity you do have an edge.
