Can a private landlord let a flat with aptari (for landlords)?

Yes. A private landlord can let a flat with the aptari Starter plan, which costs CHF 0 and includes one active listing and a 14-day Growth trial. Applicants arrive as a sorted shortlist in place of a full inbox: during the trial each one is rated by the same rules, with the facts shown, and afterwards Starter includes 5 Match Scores a month. Documents are read once at upload. The decision stays with you. aptari never decides and never declines anyone automatically. There is no setup fee and no fee per applicant. With more flats, Growth covers 10 active listings for CHF 499 a month at the launch price.

The problem

One advert for a good flat can bring dozens of applications in a few days. A private landlord has no back office. The risk is not too few applicants. It is choosing in a hurry, or by gut feeling, because nobody can read forty dossiers properly.

How it works

  1. Open a Starter account. CHF 0, no setup fee.
  2. Publish your flat. Starter includes one active listing.
  3. Applications come in sorted. During the 14-day Growth trial each applicant gets a Match Score from 0 to 100, and after it Starter includes 5 Match Scores a month. The score follows fixed rules: income against the rent, checked documents, and your listing's smoking and pet rules. Nationality, religion, age and gender are never used.
  4. You look at the facts behind each score, not just the number.
  5. You decide. aptari never decides and never declines automatically.

What Starter includes, and what it does not

  • 1 active listing.
  • A 14-day Growth trial at the start.
  • After the trial: 5 Match Scores a month.
  • Not in Starter: Live Tours and CSV export. Both are in Growth and Enterprise.

When Growth makes sense

Price a monthCHF 0CHF 499 (launch price, regular CHF 999)
Active listings110
Match Scores5 a month after the trial1,000 a month
Live ToursNo20 a month
CSV exportNoYes

Growth fits an owner with several flats or a building to let. For one flat every few years, Starter is the right plan.

The limits

  • aptari is for rentals in Switzerland. No sales.
  • There is no link to property management software yet.
  • aptari sorts and shows facts. Checking references and meeting the person remain your job.
