Can I apply for an apartment in Switzerland with one tap?

One-tap applications exist on aptari as Passport Apply, and they work on listings from aptari partner agencies, as soon as partner agencies list on aptari; none have yet. What works today is Apply with Aptari. On listings from other Swiss portals and from housing cooperatives, wherever the button shows, aptari writes your message in the listing's language, adds a private link to your dossier and copies it. You paste it and press send on the portal yourself. That takes three moves, not one, and the free Basic plan includes 20 of them a month.

One tap, stated honestly

A Swiss rental application is a message or a form plus an ID, a salary certificate, a debt extract (Betreibungsauszug) and references. Doing that again for each flat costs whole evenings.

Passport Apply is aptari's answer: your Tenant Passport, built once, sent in one tap. It works on listings from aptari partner agencies, as soon as partner agencies list on aptari; none have yet. So today you will not find a one-tap button in the feed.

What works today: Apply with Aptari

  1. Tap "Apply with Aptari" on a listing from another Swiss portal or from a cooperative, wherever the button shows. aptari writes the message, adds your dossier link, copies it and opens the listing.
  2. Paste the message into the contact form there and add your name and email.
  3. Press send. aptari never sends for you.

Before your first application

Build the Tenant Passport once: ID, salary certificate, debt extract, references. aptari reads each document once at upload, as a document check, and shows what is missing.

What it costs

  • Basic, CHF 0: 20 Apply with Aptari a month and 5 Passport Apply a month.
  • Pro, CHF 9.90 a month (launch price, normally CHF 15.90): 300 Apply with Aptari a month, Passport Apply without a monthly limit.
  • Ultra, CHF 69 a month (launch price, normally CHF 129): Apply with Aptari without a limit.

New accounts get Pro free for 14 days, with no credit card.

The limits

  • Passport Apply needs partner agencies. Until they list, your Passport Apply allowance stays unused.
  • The Apply with Aptari button does not show on every listing. A listing without it opens on the original portal or on the cooperative's website.
  • A fast, complete application helps you be early. It is no promise that you get the flat.
