What the canton changes, and what it does not

Swiss tenancy law is federal (Obligationenrecht), so the big rules are the same everywhere. A few things are cantonal or communal, and those are the ones that surprise people who move.

Kaution: same in every cantonAt most 3 months' net rent (Art. 257e OR), in a Mietkautionskonto in your name.
Dossier: same in every cantonID or permit, Betreibungsauszug not older than 3 months, 3 payslips, Haftpflicht. One Babanaj dossier works for every city.
Fees for tenants: CHF 0.– everywhereWe are mandated by the owner. The notice period is 3 months to the local dates in your contract.

Moving to Switzerland: four steps that depend on the canton

Health insurance, the Kaution and your dossier are the same everywhere. These four are not, so we show them per canton inside your account as soon as you apply.

  1. Residence permit

    EU/EFTA citizens with a work contract get a B permit (L for under 12 months). Non-EU citizens need the employer’s application approved first.

    Differs by canton: ZH: Migrationsamt, biometrics in Oerlikon. GE: OCPM does registration and permit in one visit.

    Within 14 days of arrival

  2. Registration at the commune

    Register your address with the Mietvertrag, ID or passport and health insurance proof. We send a reminder with the office and its opening hours.

    Differs by canton: ZH: Kreisbüro, 14 days. VD: Contrôle des habitants, 8 days. BE and SG: eUmzug online.

    8 to 14 days after moving in

  3. Debt collection extract

    The debt collection extract is issued by the office of your current district and must be younger than 3 months when you apply. CHF 17.– federal fee.

    Differs by canton: New in Switzerland? An employer letter replaces it for the first application.

    Before you apply; we track the expiry

  4. Tenancy agreement details

    Rent, Nebenkosten and the 3-month notice period are federal. The official form for the first rent and the local termination dates depend on the canton.

    Differs by canton: ZH: Formular Anfangsmietzins, Stadt Zürich dates 31 March and 30 September. SG: no form.
