Thank you very much for your response !
You seem like a very nice person, and I would be more than happy to have you as my tenant !
As per our family lawyer advice, and since this would be our first transaction, I decided to use an authorized third party to intermediate our first deal, so I listed my apartment on Airbnb - the biggest and the most secure rental company in the world at this moment - I am sure you heard about it or used it at least one time in the past.
For the next step, I will provide you the link of my listing on Airbnb. You will have to make the booking for one month only. Then Airbnb will send you the invoice and the payment instructions for 1 month + the security deposit (CHF 690 + CHF 1'000 = CHF 1'690) . The moment I receive the confirmation from Airbnb that you booked the apartment, I will reserve the first flight to Switzerland and meet with you, handle you the keys and everything you need.
I can come and meet you this week also.
At this point, there are 2 options:
1) If you like the apartment, and decide to rent it for long term, we can make the rental contract (which, by the way, is fully flexible, in order to suit both of our needs) for any period you desire, and set up all the terms - I am a reasonable person, no need to worry about anything
2) If, after the inspection of the apartment, you decide that you don't want to rent it (for any reason whatsoever), you can inform Airbnb that the apartment is not as described, and they will refund your money the same day. (I am more than certain that you will fall in love with the place, anyway)
I hope you understand the steps of the transaction, you will NOT send the money to me, you will send it to Airbnb. I can't have access to the funds without your authorization, so you are 100% protected.
So basically, you have nothing to loose, and I also have the certitude that you are indeed interested in renting it. I would also like to inform you that a previous "tenant" made me fly to Switzerland for nothing, and decided not to answer his cellphone when I arrived ...
As I explained you in my first email, my time is very limited, and I can not afford another waste of time like that, so I hope it won't happen the same with you ...
Thanks in advance for having the time to read my email, and please inform me if I can provide you the link with my Airbnb listing, also please CONFIRM from which date you will make the booking, to update my calendar on Airbnb.
