Private Rental Requirements

Rental agencies in Switzerland require all persons who rent an apartment to make a security deposit in advance, equaling three month’s rent. In addition, each month’s rent must be paid at the beginning of the month, that is, within the first 5 days. At the end of leasing period, the security deposit is returned if there has been no damage to the apartment.

Students under 21 years of age who wish to rent an apartment may do so with the signature of a parent or guardian on the lease. Charges for electricity and telephone are not included in these estimates. Leases, payment of leases, deposits, etc., fall completely under the responsibility of the student and their parents or guardians.
