About our student living in our residences

How far is the student accommodation from the university?

Although we always prioritise proximity to universities and institutions, distances vary significantly depending on your chosen student accommodation. Check out the factfile for each property to find out all the details.

Is the accommodation furnished? If so, what is the furniture like?

Most of our student housing is furnished, but not all. This information is available on the factfile for each property, which you can consult at any time.

Are kitchenware and bedding provided?
  • None of our properties provide bedding. You should bring what you need.
  • Some apartments may come equipped with kitchenware. Check out the factfile for the individual residence to find out if this is the case.
Are pets allowed?

To ensure a respectful shared living environment, pets are not permitted.

Can couples live together in the residences?

No, our student housing is designed for individual tenants.

Do the properties have a laundry room? 

Yes, all our buildings have a laundry room. On the detail page, you’ll find a list of all the shared spaces.

Can I store my bike?

Most of our buildings offer bike storage. Check out the factfile for each property for all the details.

Applications and terms and conditions

What are the rental terms and conditions? What is the minimum contract?

The minimum tenancy is six months. The lease can then be terminated at the end of each month (except December), subject to three months' notice.

What is included in the charges? Should I expect additional costs?

This is specific to each residence. Information can be found on the detail page for the residence.

Are overseas guarantors accepted?

European guarantors are accepted.

What is the extract from the Office des Poursuites? What do I do if I can’t provide one?

The extract from the Registre des Poursuites, or prosecution register, states whether you have been prosecuted at any point in the last five years. Anyone who has lived in Switzerland for at least three months can order this document from the Office des Poursuites in their municipality. If you do not live in Switzerland, you don’t have to provide this document.
