Problem
Prospective renters in major German‑speaking Swiss cities face a fragmented market, high rental prices, and time‑consuming paperwork, making it difficult to secure affordable studio or shared‑room (WG) accommodations on short notice.
Solution
NextGen Properties operates a proptech platform that aggregates available studio and WG listings across key urban centers and matches them with renters seeking flexible, cost‑effective housing. The service digitizes the entire tenancy workflow—from real‑time inventory search and online application to electronic lease signing and rent payment—reducing administrative overhead for both tenants and landlords. Integrated community tools (e.g., WhatsApp groups, curated service partners) enhance the co‑living experience, while a secure digital escrow handles rental deposits in compliance with Swiss tenancy law. By streamlining matching, contracting, and post‑move‑in support, the platform delivers a turnkey solution for modern urban living.
Target Audience
The primary users are students, recent graduates, and young professionals looking for short‑ to medium‑term, affordable housing in Swiss urban centers; the platform also serves property owners and management firms seeking efficient tenant acquisition and administration.
