Rental deposit
The rental deposit usually runs via the Swiss Post rental deposit account — transparent, bank-independent and tenant-friendly. For longer leases, SwissCaution is also an option.
How it works
- After acceptance you receive the deposit invitation digitally.
- You place the deposit via the Post rental deposit account (or — for longer stays — an accepted deposit insurance).
- AirEcoHome and you receive confirmation — the lease can be signed.
- The deposit is fully refunded to the tenant’s account 48 hours after move-out. Transaction fees are borne by AirEcoHome.
Damage cover & Mobiliar
Mobiliar private liability covers tenant-caused property damage up to your policy sum (typically up to CHF 10 million overall; details and any sublimits per contract). It does not replace the deposit — but protects you against valid damage claims.
SwissCaution
Makes sense from a minimum stay of 6 months: you start the SwissCaution application yourself online. For shorter furnished stays, the classic Post deposit account remains the usual route.
Benefits
- Independent Post rental deposit account
- No debt-collection extract required in Switzerland
- Clear process for tenants and landlords
Note: The exact product (Post deposit vs. SwissCaution) depends on the property and length of stay. Details come with the lease offer.
