When properties are handed over, they must be cleaned according to the specifications in the contract. In most cases in Switzerland, this means that the property must be spotless. This includes all details (oven, windows, sun blinds, filters, door frames etc.) and implies great effort and time.If the flat isn’t spotlessly cleaned, the landlord may have it professionally cleaned and bill the cleaning to you. It is thus advisable to either invest some effort to avoid this or have the property professionally cleaned. In order to avoid any surprises, ask for quotes from a selection of cleaning companies. Only employ a company that guarantees successful handover.
