I've just found this whilst looking for something else:

it's a pdf explaining rights, norms, abnorms etc of renting a flat in Switzerland, English language, therefore understandable.

Elli<<off to find her something else

In case anyone is interested in a downloadable brochure in English, the Bundesamt für Wohnungswesen (...um, Federal Office of Housing?) has put out a brochure (in 11 languages!) all about renting in Switzerland.

A list of all brochures can be found here: http://www.bwo.admin.ch/mietrecht/00...x.html?lang=de

The English .pdf is here:

Good post. I think we saw it somewhere on another thread yesterday, but it should probably have its own thread anyway. At some point we must hoover all these threads up into a dedicated resource thread.

Oops David - I saw that someone posted exactly the same information just 7 messages down from your post. I've merged your thread into the original one now.
