Frequently asked questions: renting a room in Solothurn

Is this a room in a shared flat?

Yes. If you are looking to rent a room in a shared flat in Solothurn, you are in the right place: you rent your own lockable single room and share the kitchen, bathroom and laundry room with the other tenants. The difference to a classic flatshare: there is no casting and no application to your future flatmates. You pick a room, come to a viewing, sign the contract and move in. Every tenant has a separate rental contract with us, so you are not liable for the rent of anyone else. This form of housing works particularly well for commuters, weekly residents, working professionals and anyone who wants to rent flexibly.

Can I rent a room in Solothurn without an extract from the debt collection register?

Yes. We do not ask for an extract from the debt collection register. You can send us a rental enquiry even if you have entries. You need neither a salary statement nor a confirmation from your employer – a valid ID is enough. That sets us apart from the large real estate portals, where a clean register extract is usually a requirement.

I am a foreign national – what do I need to rent a room in Solothurn?

All you need is a valid ID. You can choose between a viewing on site or a video viewing. No further documents are required to rent from us.

Can I view the room first?

Yes, a personal viewing on site is mandatory, unless you are coming from abroad. If you cannot be here in person, please get in touch with us. We also offer video viewings.

Can I rent a room in Solothurn today?

Yes, you can move in as soon as the rental contract is signed and the rent and the deposit are paid, provided the room is available. A fast and uncomplicated move-in matters a lot to us. If you wish, you can move in immediately, usually within one to two hours. Demand for rooms in Solothurn is high, so available rooms are often taken quickly.

How much does a room in Solothurn cost?

Prices for rooms in Solothurn vary depending on location, neighbourhood, furnishing and size. With us, furnished rooms start at around CHF 495 per month. A modern furnished room costs about CHF 670 on average, and in the old town prices are around CHF 770. Most furnished rooms in Solothurn therefore range between CHF 495 and CHF 900 per month. Compared with rooms in nearby Bern, rooms in Solothurn are often cheaper. Our listings show transparently which rent applies to each room.

How high is the deposit for a room in Solothurn?

In Switzerland the rental deposit is usually up to three monthly rents. At Apartment24 the deposit is only one monthly rent, and paying in cash is possible. That keeps your budget intact when you move in and makes the start in Solothurn as simple as possible.

What is included in the rent of a furnished single room?

Our furnished single rooms start at 10 m² and are fully equipped. Included are:

  • Service charges and heating
  • Electricity and water
  • Table and chair
  • Wardrobe and bedside table
  • Shelf with storage space and storage boxes
  • Bed and mattress from a Swiss brand manufacturer
  • Fresh bed linen with pillow and duvet
  • Lighting
  • LCD TV
  • WiFi

Crockery and kitchen utensils are not included. However, the utensils of your flatmates are often available and may be used after asking them.

Are the radio and TV fees included in the rent?

The Serafe fee is not included in the rent: in Switzerland every household pays a levy for radio and TV. It is charged on top of the rent and stays the same whether you live alone or with others. You can find more information on the Serafe website.

How long can I rent a room in Solothurn?

The minimum rental period is one month. This makes our rooms suitable as monthly rooms or as interim accommodation, for example during a fixed-term assignment, an internship or while you look for a long-term flat. After that you can give notice with a period of 14 or 30 days, so you stay flexible if your situation changes.

What is the notice period?

You can choose between a notice period of 14 or 30 days – please let us know your preference before the contract is concluded. Notice is given to the middle or the end of a month. The tenancy cannot end between 1 December and 15 January. If your date falls within this period, the tenancy automatically ends on 15 January. You can send the notice through the Apartment24 app or by registered post.

What house rules apply to pets, smoking and parking?

Smoking, animals and drugs are not permitted in our properties. These rules apply to all tenants and keep living together in the flat pleasant for everyone. Some properties also have outdoor parking spaces or spaces in an underground garage. These are usually not included in the monthly rent and can be rented separately, subject to availability.

Can I register the address as my official residence?

Yes, at almost all of our properties registering the address as your official residence is straightforward. You can use the rental contract you receive from us directly for registering with the residents' services of the town of Solothurn or your municipality. In the few exceptions we tell you transparently in the listing and before the contract is signed.

Can I register as a weekly resident?

At many of our rooms you can register as a weekly resident. This is particularly suitable for people who work in Solothurn or within commuting distance during the week and want to keep their main residence in another municipality. Thanks to good rail connections to Bern (around 40 min.) and Zurich (around 60 min.), this also works for people who do not work in Solothurn itself. Whether this is possible at a specific property is stated in the listing, or you can ask us directly with your enquiry. Please also clarify the required documents and conditions with the municipality in charge.

Is a room in Solothurn suitable for commuters?

Solothurn is ideally located between Bern, Zurich, Basel and Biel. Thanks to good rail and road connections, many workplaces can be reached in under an hour. A room in Solothurn is therefore a good choice if you work away from home during the week and want to keep your main residence.

What should I keep in mind with a sublet?

With a sublet there should always be a written contract. It is also important that the main tenant has the consent of the property management or the landlord. The deposit should be handled correctly as well. In Switzerland a rental deposit is normally not paid into a private account but into a blocked rental deposit account at a Swiss bank. The usual amount is up to three monthly rents – at Apartment24 only one monthly rent is due.

Which neighbourhoods in Solothurn are especially popular?

Popular areas for renting a room in Solothurn include the baroque old town and quieter suburbs in the surrounding area. Many people look for proximity to the station, shopping such as the Weststadt mall or their workplace. The old town suits everyone who enjoys urban living close to restaurants and culture. Quieter suburbs are ideal for people who prefer a little more distance from the town centre. Our listings in Solothurn and the surrounding area cover different rooms in various locations.

How do I dispose of waste in Solothurn?

In the town of Solothurn a fee-paid waste bag is mandatory, available in shops. Paper, cardboard, glass, metal and bulky waste are disposed of separately. You can find all the details in the overview of waste disposal on the website of the town of Solothurn.
