Secure your dream home faster, thanks to TenantPlus

30.10.2023

At the moment, it may take a little longer to find your dream home. The situation in the Swiss housing market is currently rather difficult. Searching for suitable properties, contacting listers and waiting for an answer can also be extremely time-consuming. As a TenantPlus member, it is easier to search for an apartment. We explain how this service works and what benefits it offers you.

Exclusive access to listings for TenantPlus members

TenantPlus gives you exclusive access to over 1,000 new listings throughout Switzerland. These listings are marked with a blue box and the “Plus” symbol. This means you can contact the listers before their properties are visible to all the other users of our platform. This puts you one step ahead of the competition, increasing the chances of securing your dream home.

Greater transparency

As a TenantPlus member, you can see how many people have already contacted a particular lister. This allows you to quickly decide whether it is worth contacting this advertiser. If you are aware of the demand, you can better assess your chances of securing a specific property and ideally save time and effort when looking for a home.

Verification badge instils trust and gains attention

We know how important trust and credibility are when contacting listers. Which is why TenantPlus members receive a verification badge. When you send a contact request that bears this badge, you not only identify yourself as a TenantPlus member, but also gain more trust and attention from listers. On average, TenantPlus members receive a 32 % faster response than other users. This means you are highly likely to get a quick answer from listers, thereby further increasing your chances of securing the home you want.

Free debt collection report

As an additional bonus, TenantPlus offers subscribers a free debt collection register report. This document provides valuable insights into your credit history and should be part of every application portfolio.

Free trial for first-time users

Are you still unsure whether a TenantPlus subscription is right for you? No problem! We offer a one-week free trial for first-time users of our service. This allows you to familiarise yourself with, and gain initial experience of, the tool without taking out a paid subscription.

Improved chances in cities where demand is high

In cities such as Zurich, Bern and Geneva, demand for rental properties is currently extremely high. This means that landlords often receive an overwhelming number of enquiries and housing applications, so yours can easily get lost. TenantPlus can help with this: membership gives you early access to listings, allowing you to contact landlords more quickly. This increases your chances of getting an early viewing appointment, allowing you to submit your application sooner.
