How the calculation works

The median rent comes from OCSTAT's official rent statistics (May 2025, free-market dwellings, without charges). Where OCSTAT publishes no figure for a commune, the calculator shows its group of communes. The deposit is capped at three months' rent by article 257e of the Code of Obligations; the calculation uses the median rent, without charges.
