What is different from abroad
- No credit score report in the usual application. For solvency, the leaflet's overview of what landlords usually ask names the income and the debt enforcement extract, not a credit report.
- The extract lists the debt enforcement proceedings opened against a person in the past 5 years, and usually costs CHF 17 plus postage (ch.ch).
- A reason is needed. Whoever asks an office for another person's extract must show a credible interest, in particular a direct link to concluding a contract (Art. 8a SchKG).
- In principle not admissible per the leaflet: marital status, religion, nationality, the current rent, leasing and small credit contracts.
What aptari does
A sorted shortlist: every applicant rated by the same rules, facts shown. Documents are read once at upload. It is a document check. aptari is no authority, does not confirm that a document is genuine, and runs no credit agency check. aptari never decides and never declines automatically: a person at your agency does.
What it costs
| Plan | Price | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | CHF 0 | 1 active listing, 14-day Growth trial |
| Growth | CHF 499 a month (launch price, regular CHF 999) | 10 active listings, 20 Live Tours a month, CSV export |
| Enterprise | From CHF 1,999 a month | 50 Live Tours a month, CSV export, house rules, Selection Bridge, Briefing Agent, team seats and offices |
No setup fee, no fee per applicant. Example: if 80 people apply for one flat, a fee per applicant is charged 80 times, while a plan price stays the same. If you use all 10 listings on Growth, that is CHF 49.90 per listing a month. An example, not a promise.
