How it works

Your way to a new home, step by step

From finding the right home to getting the keys, here's exactly what to expect when you rent through Babanaj.

Step 1
Choose your home
Browse our listings and pick the furnished home that fits your needs, budget and preferred area, in Zürich, Basel, Bern, Geneva, Lausanne and the other cities we cover. Take your time with the details, photos and move-in dates; some homes are also offered for short stays.
Step 2
Submit your application
Found the right place? Apply online. You upload a valid passport or ID (plus your residence permit if you already have one), proof of income such as recent payslips or an employment contract, and a debt collection register extract (Betreibungsauszug). All documents are handled securely and confidentially.
Step 3
Application review and landlord check
Our team reviews your application and documents, then presents your profile to the landlord. This usually takes 1 to 2 business days, and you receive an email as soon as a decision has been made.
Step 4
Payment and billing details
Once your application is approved, you complete your billing details and pay the first month's rent. The rent deposit (at most three monthly rents under Art. 257e OR) is paid into a blocked rent deposit account in your name, or covered by a deposit guarantee.
Step 5
Contract and signing
You then receive your rental contract and invoice by email. Review the contract carefully, sign it and upload the signed copy on your payment page to complete the booking.
Step 6
Handover and move-in
Once the signed contract and payment are confirmed, our team arranges the handover with a joint inspection report. The tenancy starts on the date you chose, so you stay in control of your move-in. Welcome home!
