Frequently asked questions
What is the deadline for receiving the guarantee certificate?
Your file will be processed immediately. As soon as we receive your application for a guarantee and proof of payment, we draw up your certificate and send it to you by priority mail. Normally, you receive your certificate the next day.
What will be the amount of your premium ?
The first year, the amount of the premium is calculated according to your moving date. The amount is between 25 CHF.- and 120 CHF.- This premium covers the tenant until December 31 of the current year. Each subsequent year, the tenant will need to pay an annual subscription (due for the whole year) fixed at 25 CHF.- + 5% of the sum covered. This premium must be paid in advance, before 1 January of the year concerned.
What happens if I move from my home?
When you move, you must ensure that the agency returns the completed and signed deposit certificate to release the guarantee. You can also take out a new guarantee for your future residence. If your landlord has claims against you and you are unable to pay the sum requested, Generali may advance the amount due, which you will then have to repay in full. As such, remember to contact your liability insurer who could take care of the damages.
Uh oh! I have already locked in my rental guarantee with a bank ...

How it works?
SmartCaution replaces your rent guarantee and undertakes to pay the debts that might become due to your landlord. In return, an annual premium will be charged.
