Frequently asked questions
Is the bonus compatible with your free service?
Yes. The service is free for the outgoing tenant. The bonus comes on top: CHF 300 if your lease takeover goes through, when you give us exclusivity on your file for two weeks.
When is it paid?
Within 10 business days following the new tenant's move-in, after we have received the supporting documents.
Can I publish my own listing at the same time?
No, not during the exclusivity period. That would void eligibility for the bonus and reduce the efficiency of the process.
What if the property management rejects the application?
The bonus is not due. We help you present another candidate.
How much is the bonus?
CHF 300, a fixed amount, when you give us exclusivity on your file for two weeks and your lease takeover goes through. One bonus per lease.
In their own words
I'm happy to share my experience with Home Location! I recently used their relocation services and couldn't be more satisfied with their work. The team was incredibly fast, available, kind, and proactive throughout the process. They were extremely efficient in helping us find housing and made sure everything went smoothly.
Benoit Schroll
I am very satisfied with working with Home Location Geneva. To terminate my lease, I had to find a new tenant. Home Location took care of everything for me: found the new tenant, organised the visit, negotiated with the property management to let me hand over the apartment earlier, handled the final dossier with them, etc. Thanks again, Home Location, for this great work!
