Switzerland - a country of tenants.

Two out of three people in Switzerland live in rented accommodation. The rental contract comes with rights and obligations that not everyone is fully aware of. The guide "Living in Switzerland - Information about renting an apartment" summarizes these in an easy-to-understand way and is worth a look not only in case of difficulties or disputes.

The answers to your questions ...
What must be written in a rental agreement? How high may the rent deposit be? How do I defend myself against a rent increase? What should I do if my new partner wants to move in with me? Which repairs in the apartment do I have to pay for at my own expense? These are just some of the questions that can arise in the course of a tenant's life. If you are not familiar with them and don't know which advisory and mediation bodies can help you, the issues provide fertile ground for disputes between tenants, with the landlord, the administration or the janitor, which can often last for years. A stressful situation for almost everyone, which can usually be avoided through knowledge and education.
