Property management for your apartment in Geneva
Do you own an apartment in Geneva, furnished or not? Here is what management covers and how to hand it over with peace of mind.
What an agency does
The agency lets the property (rent, photos, listing, viewings), selects the tenant, drafts the lease, does the check-in report, collects the rent and follows up, organises maintenance and works, and gives you a clear statement. You keep the important decisions.
Furnished or unfurnished
A furnished apartment is let to people moving to Geneva for work or studies, often at a higher rent, with an inventory to keep and furniture to maintain. An unfurnished one needs less follow-up.
Short-term rentals are strictly regulated in Geneva. Leases of twelve months and more, as Régie 373 offers, give a steady income with less turnover and wear.
Setting the rent
The rent is set from the rents of comparable properties in the neighbourhood and the condition and furnishing of the home. In Geneva, the initial rent must be notified to the tenant on the official cantonal form.
Choosing the tenant
Solvency, debt-collection extract, employer’s certificate: every application is checked. The rent deposit, at most three months for a home, is held in a blocked account in the tenant’s name.
Maintenance, works and statements
Small repairs are dealt with quickly by trusted tradespeople, with compared quotes for works. At year end, a detailed statement lets you fill in your tax return without searching.
The management mandate
The relationship is set by a management mandate: tasks, duration, fees and notice period. To start, we visit your property, propose a rent and a mandate, then take care of everything.
