General information about the preliminary confirmation

We have gathered some important questions here to give you an overview of the preliminary confirmation for a rental deposit surety bond.

The commitment certificate for a rental deposit surety bond for residential use is free of charge and does not oblige you to enter into a contract with us.

The preliminary confirmation is valid for 3 months and subject to the accuracy of the information provided. During this period, you should normally be able to find a new home. If you still need a new certificate, please contact us so that we can obtain a new credit check and issue a new preliminary confirmation.

The preliminary confirmation is issued exclusively electronically and sent as a PDF by email.

No. The preliminary confirmation does not constitute an official surety bond certificate and only certifies that the person named on the preliminary confirmation has a positive credit check and that a rental deposit surety bond of up to CHF 16,000 can be provided.

Once the lease agreement is signed, the tenant must take out the rental deposit insurance online and pay the first annual premium so that the landlord receives the official surety bond certificate.

Instead of spending several thousand francs on the rental deposit and having that money locked away for years, you can have the deposit required by your landlord guaranteed through the rental deposit surety bond from ProTect Versicherung AG. This means you don't need to tie up funds for a deposit account and have additional resources available for your upcoming move.
