Note | The rental agreement deposit sets out the contractual relationship between the rental parties and Zuger Kantonalbank. You will find the current version of the agreement on our website. For opening a rent deposit account, we only accept our own rental agreement deposit. We cannot accept, and will have to return, any agreements from other providers or older versions of our own agreement. |
