The perfect application file – and why a provisional certificate helps
In competitive cities the file decides. These documents belong in it.

In Zurich, Geneva or Lausanne thirty applicants queue for one flat. Your file has to convince – at first glance.
What belongs in it
- The property manager's application form, fully completed
- Debt enforcement register extract, no older than three months
- Copy of ID or residence permit
- Salary statement or employment contract
- References from previous landlords
- A short, friendly cover letter
The provisional certificate as a plus
Property managers want to know the deposit is secured. With a Swisscautionen24 provisional certificate you show: as soon as the lease is signed, the deposit is in place. The letter is free, arrives by email in minutes and is valid for three months.
