Hi everyone

I will be moving to Lausanne this September 27th. As a lot of you guys probably know, you need to register to the commune with an address in order to be able to work legally.

I approached a few people on AirBnB in an attempt to find a place for about a week. However, so far, all of them refuse to fill in the form "Attestation du logeur", which I need in order to go register at the commune office.

Would anyone of you know of someone who could help me with a place or any tips? (I would pay of course). Trying to avoid hotels for now as they are 2x more expensive than AirBnB.

Thanks!

You are asking people who are offering temporary tourist accommodation to sign a document attesting to the fact that you live there. I'd run a mile too.

The usual solution to this is to either rent a furnished apartment short-term or move straight into shared (e.g. student) accommodation, depending on your life stage. Then you register, get your work/residency permit and only then do you start hunting for your new home if you still want an apartment of your very own. Lausanne has a >99% occupancy rate, so this last process can take a while; 2-3 months would not be unusual.
