Rental deposit guarantee with monthly payments in Switzerland: a Firstcaution exclusive
The rental guarantee in Switzerland often represents a significant financial burden for tenants, especially when moving home. Blocking up to three months’ rent in a bank account can considerably reduce available funds.
With the monthly payment rental guarantee, Firstcaution has revolutionized the Swiss market by offering a flexible solution without a deposit, allowing tenants to pay their rental guarantee on a monthly basis, while ensuring full security for landlords.
A rental guarantee with monthly payments is a form of rental guarantee without a bank deposit.
Instead of blocking a large amount of capital or paying the entire premium in one single payment, tenants spread the cost of their rental guarantee over twelve months.
Firstcaution acts as guarantor towards the landlord and issues a rental guarantee certificate recognised in Switzerland, valid for the entire duration of the lease.
Traditionally, the rental guarantee is paid into a blocked bank account, freezing several thousand Swiss francs for the entire duration of the lease.
