Re: Frustrated in flat hunting [in Zurich]

I tried deregistering myself yesterday at the kreisburo but it says that all Zurich kreisburos are shut till Jan 4th. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Also, Betreibungsauskunft costs 20 CHF for the first copy but you are more than welcome to ask for more copies free. I've not been asked to pay when I recently requested for 15 copies - the only price I paid was my dignity when the ladies at the counter started laughing amongst themselves at the number of copies I asked for.
This morning I went to take 5 Betreibungaskunfts and I payed all 5 of them 5*17 chf . I don't know German and couldn't argue with the clerk there but I thought I'd get copies for free

Regarding flat search, I got offer today after 3 months of search, which is average as I've been told by others in my company.
What made me get the apartment is that I was first to see it, before it went to homegate, it was short deadline for taking it over and my HR did couple of nice calls to the agent to express their support for me and of course complete documentation with almost my teeth scan within

Good luck with the apartment, start being desperate after 3 months, not 3 weeks

Cheers
