4.1 Apartments
The elron club apartments can be rented unfurnished or fully equipped.
4.1.1. Rental agreement conclusion
The customer reserves the apartment by making an advance payment of the first month's rent and a security deposit. The rent becomes effective only after the signing of the lease agreement and after paying the security deposit and the first month's rent. The notice period and minimum rental duration specified in the lease agreement are binding, even if the rent is not taken up.
4.1.1.1 Comprehensive Creditworthiness Check
With the intention to rent, the customer agrees that the provided personal data will be used to verify creditworthiness through a collection partner. We expressly reserve the right to reject customers with a non-conclusive result without further details or to request additional documents for a comprehensive creditworthiness check. These documents may include, among others:
- Debt collection register extract
- Payslips
- Employment contracts
- References
- Proof of assets
4.1.1.2 Security Deposit
The security deposit is generally and ideally set at 1 month's rent. In case of increased credit default- or other risk, we reserve the right to increase the security deposit to up to 3 months' rent without stating reasons, in accordance with Swiss rental law.
4.1.1.3 Individuals under 26 years of age
Individuals under 26 years of age are obliged from the outset to undergo the comprehensive creditworthiness check mentioned in section 4.1.1.1. Alternatively, or additionally, we reserve the right to apply the provisions of Art. 4.1.1.2.
4.1.1.4 Increased Wear and Tear - Children & Pets
We warmly welcome families with children as well as residents with pets and look forward to welcoming you as elron club residents. However, it is well known that small children and pets, in particular, contribute to increased wear and tear on upholstered furniture and other inventory items. For this reason, it is mandatory for these residents to book sofa and armchair covers as an additional product and pay for them with the first rent invoice. You may keep and take the sofa covers with you upon moving out. Alternatively, or additionally, we reserve the right to apply the provisions of Art. 4.1.1.2.
Current Price List:
- Small armchair or sofa cover 140x200 CHF 50.00
- Medium armchair or sofa cover 250x250 CHF 80.00
- Large armchair or sofa cover 250x350 CHF 100.00
4.1.1.5 Withdrawal before Contract Conclusion
We expressly reserve the right to withdraw from the contract at any time before the conclusion of the lease agreement and without stating reasons. Compensation for viewing expenses is excluded.
4.1.1.6 Gap Fee for Delayed Rental Start
If the customer wishes to rent an apartment at a date later than the specified availability date, a Gap Fee will be charged. This fee covers the opportunity costs for the period during which the apartment remains vacant and is apportioned over the agreed minimum rental duration of the contract. The Gap Fee is therefore integrated into the monthly rental payments and distributed over the entire minimum rental period.
If the rental contract is terminated or dissolved for any reason before the agreed minimum rental period has elapsed, the remaining outstanding Gap Fee becomes fully payable. This applies regardless of whewhether a subsequent tenant is found, as the opportunity costs are not to be borne by a new tenant.
4.1.2. Early cancellation of the contract
If the tenant wishes to be released from the lease agreement prematurely, Elron Club AG will attempt to find a suitable replacement tenant. Once a valid lease agreement is established with a new tenant, the current tenant will be released from liability. If no replacement tenant is found, the current tenant is liable according to the notice periods and durations specified in the lease agreement.
If the apartment is vacated early, the tenant who has moved out remains liable for the rent until they are released from liability in accordance with the terms and durations of the lease agreement and no longer has any right to use the apartment.
In the event of an early contract termination, a cleaning fee and an administrative fee of CHF 500.00 for finding a replacement tenant will be invoiced.
The end cleaning will in this case be charged as follows:
- Studio CHF 890.00
- 1-bedroom CHF 990.00
- 2-bedroom CHF 1'390.00
- 3-bedroom CHF 1'590.00
4.1.3. Extenstions
Extension bookings can be communicated up to 30 days before the end of the fixed contract period. The existing capacities remain reserved, there is no right to an extension of the contract. Open-ended tenancies are subject to a notice period of 3 months, unless a different regulation is anchored in the contract.
4.1.4. Apartment handover
The apartment is handed over to the customer in a clean condition. The transfer takes place "remotely" or physically.
The standard check-in time is between 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m., although this can vary by mutual agreement (If the day falls on a weekend or holiday, the next working day after applies).
The standard check-out time is between 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m., although this can vary by mutual agreement (If the day falls on a weekend or holiday, the last working day before applies).
In general, the apartment must be returned in a condition that an average household would find habitable. The kitchen, dishes, household appliances, and utensils must be cleaned. Excessive dirt will be invoiced to the customer and/or offset against any security deposit.
4.1.5. Liability
The customer undertakes, upon entering into the contract, to inhabit the apartment with care and diligence. Any damages, missing inventory, above-average dirt, and other defects will be invoiced to the customer and/or offset against any security deposit. The cost calculation is carried out in accordance with Sections 4.1.6 and 4.1.7.
In general, the apartment must be returned in a condition that an average household would find habitable. The kitchen, dishes, household appliances, and utensils must be cleaned. Excessive dirt will be invoiced to the customer and/or offset against any security deposit.
If no security deposit has been made, and the liability amount has not been settled, Elron Club AG will initiate legal proceedings against the debtor, resulting in their entry into the Swiss debt enforcement register.
4.1.6. Calculation of Costs for Damage to Inventory
The costs for damage to each inventory item are determined based on 4 levels and derived from the original purchase price:
25% Minimal Damage: The inventory item has suffered minimal wear and tear, which is not immediately noticeable at first glance. The inventory item can still be objectively considered aesthetically pleasing and fully functional. The departing tenant will be charged 25% of the purchase price plus any applicable delivery and installation costs.
50% Moderate Damage: The inventory item has suffered multiple minimal wear and tear marks, which are only slightly noticeable at first glance. The inventory item can still be objectively considered aesthetically pleasing and fully functional. The departing tenant will be charged 50% of the purchase price plus any applicable delivery and installation costs.
75% Significant Damage: The inventory item has suffered one or more significant wear and tear marks, which are immediately noticeable at first glance. The inventory item can no longer be objectively considered entirely aesthetically pleasing but remains fully functional. The departing tenant will be charged 75% of the purchase price plus any applicable delivery and installation costs.
100% Total Loss: The inventory item has suffered one or more wear and tear marks or damages, which are immediately noticeable at first glance. The inventory item can no longer be reasonably used for aesthetic or functional reasons. The departing tenant will be charged 100% of the purchase price plus any applicable delivery and installation costs.
If an inventory item was already handed over with a damage level, only the difference to the damage level at the time of the current tenant's move-out will be charged. The final bill of the previous tenant serves as proof. In the absence of an inventory item, it is assumed to be a total loss of 100%.
Small inventory items are charged lump sum unless their individual value exceeds the lump sum:
Each per item:
- Glass CHF 5.00
- Cutlery CHF 5.00
- Pan CHF 25.00
- Dishes CHF 10.00
