Owner questions

What owners ask us

How much does it cost?

20% flat commission on all bookings. No setup fees, no photography charge, no onboarding cost. You pay nothing until your apartment earns. The 20% covers everything — pricing, guest communication, cleaning coordination, and reporting.

Can I still use my apartment for personal stays?

Yes. Block any dates you need in the calendar — no notice period, no restrictions. We work around your personal use schedule. Typically owners block 4–6 weeks per year and still earn significantly more than self-managing the rest of the year.

Do I need to register my apartment with the commune first?

Yes. Swiss law requires a commune notification and cantonal authorisation before your first guest. We guide you through the full process. Read our step-by-step registration guide or ask us to walk you through it directly.

What about my belongings and personal items?

We recommend locking personal items in a dedicated storage area or cupboard before we go live. We can advise on setup during the property walkthrough. Guests are clearly informed of house rules and access limits.

How much can I realistically earn in Montreux?

A 1-bedroom central apartment earns CHF 30,000–50,000 per year; a 2-bedroom CHF 45,000–75,000; a 3-bedroom CHF 65,000–99,000. Jazz Festival and Christmas Market weeks run at 3–5× base rates. See our full Montreux Airbnb income guide for a detailed breakdown by property type.
