What is the Tenant Passport?

The Tenant Passport is your digital rental dossier on aptari: you build it once and use it for every application. You upload your ID, salary certificate, debt extract (Betreibungsauszug) and references; aptari reads each document once at upload and shows what is missing. Building it is free. Wherever the button shows on listings from other Swiss portals and cooperatives, Apply with Aptari writes your message in the listing's language and adds a private dossier link; you send it. You see when the link is opened, documents open only after the advertiser confirms a work email, and the link ends after 30 days. It works in German, English, French and Italian.

The Tenant Passport solves the biggest frustration of Swiss apartment hunting: refilling the same dossier for every agency, slowly, while faster applicants take the flat. You build it once, for free, and reuse it for every application on aptari.

What's in the Passport

  • ID or passport and residence permit
  • Salary certificate or employment contract
  • Betreibungsauszug (debt extract)
  • A previous-landlord reference
  • Proof of liability insurance
  • Optional: pet info, household composition, preferences

How it works

  1. Upload once · your documents are stored securely
  2. Document check · aptari reads your documents and checks that they are complete and consistent
  3. Match Score · before you apply, aptari scores you from 0 to 100 against each listing, based on your income against the rent, your checked documents and the listing's smoking and pet rules · and you see why
  4. Passport Apply · on listings from aptari partner agencies, one click sends your dossier to the agency (5 a month on Basic, unlimited on Pro and Ultra), as soon as partner agencies list on aptari; none have yet. On other Swiss portals and at cooperatives, Apply with Aptari prepares your message wherever the button shows, and you send it there

Why agencies trust it

A Tenant Passport with a Match Score is a candidate who is already checked. Instead of an inbox full of PDFs, the agency sees a clear shortlist of people whose documents already add up.

What it replaces

The traditional Swiss "Bewerbungsmappe": a folder of copies handed over at viewings or emailed to agency after agency. With the Tenant Passport you prepare the paperwork once; on listings from aptari partner agencies the agency sees one complete dossier in the same structure every time, and for every other listing you have all your documents in one place.

Privacy

  • Your data is stored in the EU (Frankfurt); some processing is done by providers in the USA, see the privacy policy
  • You control what is shared and with whom
  • You can always see why you got a particular Match Score
