The lessor could consider it as abusive and can reject my demand. In the case I sublease the accommodation with furniture, I can add maximum 20% on the rent. Apartis accepts a supplement of maximum CHF 50.-\/month.<\/li>\n<li>I hand over to my lessor a <strong>copy<\/strong> of the <strong>subleasing contract<\/strong> signed by the subtenant and myself. I enclose the different applicable rules which the subtenant has to respect, like the general terms of tenancy agreement of the real estate chamber, the house rules, the special conditions etc.<\/li>\n<li>I have the right to sublease my accommodation only to persons fulfilling the rental conditions of Apartis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Tip :<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Rent payments: to avoid reminders due of a non-payment I continue to pay my rent and ask the subtenant to reimburse the agreed rent to myself directly.<\/li>\n<li>Damages: I am aware that I have to pay for <strong>damages<\/strong> caused by the subtenant.
