Written byblouon 18 June 2009

Most of the appartments are unfurnsihed, but include usually a cellar and an access to a washing machine, the kitchen is normally fully equipped.



You'll need to pay 2 to 3 months in advance, this money can be blocked at your bank on a special bank account with 2 signatures (owner and lender), you can also choose a caution company (like swisscaution).

Contract is usually for 1 year minimum, and term can only be at a specific period (every 3 or 6 months), but if you can find someone to take other that will be no problem.

prices follow the interest rate published every 3 months ()

subletting is allowed if the owner is informed and a contract is established, price must be reasonnable compared to the normal price.

Plugs and power are of type J, find better description here
