I am completing an NSV apartment rent application form and I have some questions...

Discovering Natel meant mobile phone took a while! - that is right isn't it?

What does Tel P: and Tel G: mean?

What do they need for Autokennzeichen (falls vorhanden): - just the car make?

Namensschilder * wie folgt beschriften: assuming this is a name tag for outside the door?

Mit Bewerber/in 2 in Ehe / Konkubinat / Wohngemeinschaft: Assuming you tick Ehe if you're married?

Apologies if there is already a thread with this information, I have searched and can't seem to find anything.

Many thanks

Sophie

Tel p is private, tel g is work phone number.

Ehe is married...

Thanks very much, helpful

Autokennzeichen is the car number plate number.

Thanks for that, we are planning on getting a new (well not new but different) car soon - should I leave it blank do you think?

Thanks
Sophie

You can leave it blank if you want but if you change your existing car for a different one you transfer the number plate to the new car so the number will be the same ( assuming you're in the same canton of course)
You can always give them the car number plate details at a later date if you actually get the flat, I don't think it's a necessity to fill it in on the application form.

Thanks so much.

A couple of other things:

What does Beschäftigungsgrad mean with regard to % employment, is this whether you work part time so if you work full time it would be 100%?

Also when they ask for Netto-Jahreseinkommen in CHF does this mean net income less just tax or also the compulsory social contributions?

Thanks
Sophie

Google translate is your friend for these sort of forms when you dont know german

Full time work is indeed 100%
In Switzwerland net wage is after any social contribution but before tax.

I have been using Google translate as much as is feasible, in fact I have created an Excel sheet with the German and English translation to help next time.

However it translates Beschäftigungsgrad as 'level of employment' and I am not exactly sure what that means and also Netto-Jahreseinkommen is net-annual income but as I asked does this include social contributions?

I am asking for translation which Google doesn't do for me.

That is very helpful thank you so 'level of employment' is a term used for the % of the week you work.

I didn't realise that net wage deducts social contributions from the gross not tax. That does seem strange, is that because the social contributions are federal and the tax is determined by the Canton?

The logic is probably that your net income includes everything that goes into your bank account at the end of the month, i.e. your gross salary minus social contributions. For the vast majority of the population here, tax is not deducted directly from their salary, so the money that will later be used to pay the tax bill is indeed part of the "net monthly income".

Natel is mobile phone, yes (originally a brand name of Swisscom, has now passed into general usage), although in the German-speaking part of the country you will more often hear mobile phones referred to by the term "Handy".

Thank you for this helpful answer, so many new things to learn...

One more thing (I hope):

On reading previous threads there seems to be some confusion as to what 'Wurde die bisherige Wohnung vom Vermieter gekündigt? Ja... Grund... / Nein...' means.

I interpreted it using google translate to mean 'Did your landlord terminate your notice? If so why?' Someone else says it means 'Have you handed in your notice to your landlord?'

Which is correct?

Thanks

"Was it your landlord (i.e. as opposed to you) who terminated your previous rental agreement? If so, why?"

I understand this as meaning "Has the lease on your current flat been terminated by the landlord, yes or no. If yes, for what reason".

Or, to put it more bluntly: "Are you looking for a new flat because you have been chucked out of the one you're living in at the moment?" Rental agencies don't want tenants with a "history".

Edit: duplicate post with MathNut.

I thought this was the case, thank you both.

Therefore this thread is incorrect? Help me - To fill the application form

The difference is in the wording. Your form asks specifically if the previous rental was terminated by the landlord, the wording on the other thread just asks if it has been terminated. (They're probably both fishing for the same information, mind you, as Stephen_NE said...)

Added a better answer to other thread. There something else they may looking for: Will you have two flats? Which means increased financial burden.
