Geneva, since 2019
Hand over your lease and find the ideal tenant for your home
Leaving Geneva, moving to a new home, or going away for a while? We find the person who takes your lease, check their file, and stay with you until you are released. The service is free for the outgoing tenant.
Free for the outgoing tenant
Let us handle your tenant search
Our agency specialises in lease takeovers and helps you find someone to take over or rent your home. Whether you are an outgoing tenant, a landlord, or you wish to sublet, we support you from start to finish: the listing, the candidates, the file checks, the viewings, the presentation to the managing agent, and the final release of your lease.
We handle your file within 24 hours of receiving it. What happens next depends on your flat, your rent and your dates, and we will tell you honestly what to expect rather than promise you a date nobody can control.
Leasetakeover.ch is a service developed by Home Location SA, a real estate agency based in Geneva since 2019, with more than ten years of experience of the local property market behind it.
Three situations, three answers
You are the outgoing tenant
You want to leave before the end of your lease. We find a lease taker, check their file and present them to the landlord or the managing agent. The service is free for the outgoing tenant.
You are a landlord
You are looking for a new, reliable tenant for your property. We select and present the ideal candidate. Application review, financial guarantees, residence permit: we check everything for you.
You want to sublet
You are going away on an extended trip and you intend to come back. We help you find a serious and solvent subtenant, in complete safety, while you keep the lease in your name.
