Sublease contract and transfer protocol

Make sure to arrange a sublease contract and to write down the condition of the house and the furnishing in a transfer protocol. There is enough space in the sublease contract to arrange further agreements. All the forms are at your disposal for free by clicking on the links above.

Cleaning

Usually, apartments in Switzerland are transferred after a thorough cleaning process. Please indicate in the sublease contract in which condition the apartment shall be transferred and who will cover the costs of the final cleaning.

If you don't want to clean yourself, then you can turn to us. The Services for you heading shows services and costs of the UMS Cleaning & Laundry service.

Contact with the landlord

Please make sure that you can contact the landlord within an appropriate time limit, also during his or her absence. If necessary, inquire before the departure of the landlord if there is an informed contact person who can act as a substitute in important cases.

Telephone

Please discuss with your landlord how you want to arrange the use of the telephone connection. It is easiest if you apply for your own number and billing account with Swisscom.
