As a former UN staffer in Geneva, I am seeing a massive spike in predatory billing from local Régies for the March/April lease rotations. They are pushing full-replacement costs onto expats who are too rushed to fight back.

The Two ASLOCA Rules You Must Know:

Paint: 100% amortized after 8 years. If your paint is older than that, your liability is 0 CHF.

Silicone Joints: Heavily targeted right now. Treat as consumable wear and tear if 5+ years old.

Never sign an état des lieux without running the depreciation math. If a 1,200 CHF oven is 5 years old on a 15-year lifespan, your max liability is severely reduced under the law.

I run a 45-minute Exit Risk Audit for UN/NGO staff and expats. I come to your apartment, run the Vétusté Depreciation Calculator grid on your floors, walls, and fixtures, and give you the exact defensible amount you owe before the Régie inspector arrives.

The audit is a flat 300 CHF. I am currently booking slots for Wednesday through Friday (10 AM to 7 PM).

Send me a DM to lock in a time and ensure your file is bulletproof before you hand back the keys.
