When short-term isn't allowed

Refused by the PPE or the commune?

Some buildings will never get a short-term-rental authorisation: the condominium's règlement forbids it, or the commune will not grant the change-of-use permit that Vaud requires past 90 nights of availability. That is not a dead end — the apartment can be let on an ordinary Swiss lease, furnished for 3–12 months or classic for 1–3 years, with the tenant screened and the tenancy managed. You stay the landlord; the rent arrives every month.

Long-term lease management

Transparent pricing

One rate.
No surprises.

20%

of your rental revenue — the guest-paid cleaning fee goes directly to us, no hidden deductions

No setup fees. No monthly retainer. No cancellation penalty.
The 20% commission applies to your room rental revenue only. The guest-paid exit-cleaning fee goes directly to RivieraHost and covers the professional clean between stays — it sits outside the 20%. The cleaning fee shown in the worked example is illustrative — the exact amount depends on your apartment's size and number of bedrooms and is confirmed after a free visit and inspection (a small studio, for example, is typically CHF 70).

Everything included in 20%

✓Listing creation & optimisation
✓Professional photography
✓Dynamic pricing management
✓Calendar synchronisation
✓24/7 guest communication
✓In-person check-in & check-out
✓Professional cleaning
✓Linen supply & management
✓Consumables restocking
✓Maintenance coordination
✓Review & satisfaction tracking
✓Monthly performance reports

Worked example

Apartment rental

Your apartment is rented for 5 nights at CHF 220/night, giving CHF 1,100 nightly income. The guest also pays a cleaning fee on top (CHF 150 in this worked example).

Total paid by guest: CHF 1,250

RivieraHost commission

We take 20% on your room rental revenue. The CHF 150 cleaning fee shown here goes directly to RivieraHost to cover the professional clean between stays — it is not part of the commission base.

Our commission: CHF 220

Your net income

You keep CHF 880. One straightforward calculation — no percentage gymnastics, no hidden deductions.

Before RivieraHost, I was spending two evenings a week managing messages, coordinating cleaners, and stressing about reviews. Now I check a monthly report and my income has gone up by 38%. The Jazz Festival bookings alone justified the entire year.

“

I was sceptical about handing over my apartment to a third party, but RivieraHost made it seamless. They handled everything — photography, guest communication, check-ins — and my occupancy rate jumped from 54% to over 80% in the first season. I finally feel like I can travel without worrying.

Living abroad, managing a rental in Switzerland remotely was always a concern. RivieraHost took that stress away completely. Monthly transfers arrive on time, the reports are clear, and whenever there's a maintenance issue they sort it before I even know about it. Highly professional team.
