RENT A FURNISHED ROOM IN SEEBACH | APARTMENT24

Yes. If you are looking to rent a room in a shared flat in Seebach, 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, students and anyone who wants to rent flexibly.

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.

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.

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.

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 the north of Zurich is high, so available rooms are often taken quickly.

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 Seebach as simple as possible.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, at almost all of our properties registering the address as your official residence is straightforward. Seebach belongs to District 11 of the city of Zurich. You can use the rental contract you receive from us directly for registering with the responsible district office of the City of Zurich. In the few exceptions we tell you transparently in the listing and before the contract is signed.

At many of our rooms you can register as a weekly resident. This is particularly relevant for people who work or study in Zurich during the week but keep their main residence in another municipality. 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.

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.

Yes. The University of Zurich's Oerlikon campus is just a few minutes away. It also takes around 20 minutes to get to the ETH Hönggerberg campus and to ETH and UZH in the centre. You reach ZHAW in Winterthur by S-Bahn from «Zürich Seebach» in around 30 minutes. UZH students should also take a look at our furnished rooms for students in Zurich.

Popular areas are the surroundings of Schaffhauserstrasse with its good tram and bus connections, the new Leutschenbach area around Leutschenpark and the quieter locations by the Katzenbach, the Schwandenholz and on the Buhn with its old row houses. If you want to live even closer to the transport hub, we also have furnished rooms in Zurich Oerlikon or rooms in Schwamendingen.

The rules of the City of Zurich apply in Seebach: the blue Züri-Sack is mandatory and is sold by most retailers. Paper, cardboard, glass and bulky waste are disposed of separately. You can find all the details in the waste disposal overview of the City of Zurich.
