Legal basis: CO Art. 257a–257b
In Switzerland, only contractually agreed and actually incurred costs may be charged. Billing is required at least once a year (Art. 4 of the Swiss tenancy ordinance, VMWG); claims expire after five years. ImmoManage guides you through allowable items and reminds you once a billing period is closed.

Which costs can I charge? +
Heating, hot water, common area electricity, caretaking, waste disposal, garden and elevator – if contractually agreed.
By when must the utility bill reach the tenant? +
The law sets no fixed deadline, but requires annual billing (Art. 4 VMWG). In practice, around six months after the end of the billing period is customary. ImmoManage reminds you automatically once the period closes.
Must I attach receipts? +
Not required, but tenants can request to inspect them (CO Art. 257b). ImmoManage stores all receipts digitally.
