Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Handover cleaning is a professional deep-cleaning service designed to prepare your apartment
for the final handover to your landlord or property manager. It involves cleaning every area
of your home to Swiss tenancy standards and ensuring the property is in perfect condition
for
the next tenant.
Yes, it is highly recommended—and often expected. In Zürich, tenants must return their
property in the same clean state as when they moved in. If cleaning is not up to standard,
the landlord may hire their own cleaning service and deduct the cost from your deposit.
