That's a very important point to consider. The same as with Kusnacht, you're dependent on the S6 and S16 train lines into Zurich HB. This is fine on the weekend (early hours of Sat and Sun morning) as you have trains running hourly through the night, but from Mon-Fri, the last train from Zurich is 00:19. Miss that and you'll be paying over CHF60 for a taxi home or walking it.
ZH Kanton supposedly has 3 moving dates. 1 April is one of them but I'm not sure of the others. I think it's 1 July and 1 September but couldn't swear to it. I've moved on 1 December before now, so never took too much notice. In view of that, apartments tend to go onto the market 2-3 months prior to each of these dates to give the agent plenty of time to secure a suitable tenant.
As for all the paperwork, we rushed ours through and got everything done in two weeks, which the agent said was the fastest they'd ever completed a tenancy agreement, and that was on a vacant posession apartment. I was literally running around getting signatures and hand delivering all the documents. Nothing went into the post.
