Rent Out Your Apartment or House – the SMART Way!

Temporary rental – it’s worth it

If you’re traveling for an extended period, relocating for work, or planning a sabbatical, you often don’t want to give up your apartment or house permanently. At the same time, vacant properties are costly—and in Switzerland, valuable housing is scarce.

A short-term rental or sublet is the smart solution: it helps you avoid vacancies, reduce ongoing costs, and ensure your property remains occupied and well-maintained. Especially for international assignments, further education, or temporary relocations, renting your home temporarily is an efficient and profitable option.

SMART DEPART – comprehensive support for your subletting project

We provide end-to-end assistance for the short-term rental or subletting of your furnished apartment or house:

  • Pricing & Marketing: Together, we determine the optimal rental price and promote your property on leading platforms, while also showcasing it through our own channels to reach the right tenants.

  • Tenant Screening: We verify the creditworthiness and references of potential tenants and manage all communication on your behalf.

  • Preparing Your Home: We depersonalize spaces, replace mattresses, securely store valuables, and create a clean, inviting environment for your subtenant.

  • Legal & Organizational Support: From drafting the appropriate sublease agreement to handling move-in inspections with detailed protocols, we manage everything—including insurance and liability coverage.

  • Ongoing Care During Your Absence: We handle all contingencies while you’re away. Upon request, we can also manage re-renting, for example if your stay is extended.
