RENT A FURNISHED ROOM IN THE ZURICH OBERLAND | APARTMENT24

Over 80 furnished single rooms in the Zurich Oberland – from CHF 690 per month and available immediately.

Furnished, affordable and available immediately: at Apartment24 you rent furnished single rooms in a shared flat in the Zurich Oberland – without a debt collection register extract, without proof of salary and without an employer confirmation. All you need is a valid ID. Our rooms are ideal for working professionals, commuters, weekly residents, students and expats who want to live flexibly and without complications.

Our rooms are located in the districts of Uster, Hinwil and Pfäffikon, for example in Uster, Wetzikon, Hinwil or Bäretswil. The S5, S9, S14, S15 and S26 S-Bahn lines connect the region directly with Zurich, Winterthur and Rapperswil. The motorway network in the Zurich Oberland also connects the region quickly with the city of Zurich and Rapperswil via the A53 (Oberland motorway) and the A1.

The Zurich Oberland combines urban centres such as Uster and Wetzikon with rural municipalities in the Töss Valley. For recreation, Lake Greifensee, Lake Pfäffikon and the Bachtel and Schnebelhorn viewpoints are right on your doorstep. Rents here are noticeably lower than in the city of Zurich. Whether as a monthly room, an interim rental or a longer-term solution – our furnished rooms are available from a minimum rental period of one month and are ready to move into right away.

Key facts at a glance

How easy it is to rent your room in the Zurich Oberland

  1. Choose a suitable listing

    Pick an available room in a shared flat.

  2. Send a rental enquiry

    Send us your enquiry with the required personal details. The quickest way is via the registration form. Alternatively, you can reach us on WhatsApp at 044 512 87 87, by email at info@apartment24.ch or in person at our office (07:00–16:30).

  3. View the room

    View the room on site. If you are coming from abroad, a video viewing is also possible.

  4. Sign the rental contract

    Sign the rental contract and pay the first month's rent and the deposit.

  5. Move in

    Once the formalities are complete, you can move in on the agreed date. If the room is available at short notice, you can often move in on the same day.

Frequently asked questions: renting a room in the Zurich Oberland

Is this a room in a shared flat?

Yes. If you are looking to rent a room in a shared flat in the Zurich Oberland, 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.

Can I rent a room in the Zurich Oberland 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 the Zurich Oberland?

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 the Zurich Oberland 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.

How much does a room in the Zurich Oberland cost?

Prices vary depending on the municipality, location, furnishing and size. With us, furnished rooms start at around CHF 690 per month. A modern furnished room costs about CHF 970 on average. In well-connected centres such as Uster or Wetzikon, prices are around CHF 990. Most furnished rooms in the Zurich Oberland therefore range between CHF 750 and CHF 1100 per month. Our listings show transparently which rent applies to each room.

How high is the deposit for a room in the Zurich Oberland?

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.

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 the Zurich Oberland?

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 with the residents' registration office of 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 relevant for people who work in the Zurich Oberland or 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.

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.

Is a room in the Zurich Oberland suitable for students?

Yes. Uster is home to the Höhere Fachschule Uster (HFU), a college offering programmes in engineering, IT and business. The region is also within the catchment area of ZHAW in Winterthur. Have a look at our furnished rooms in Winterthur for this. OST in Rapperswil as well as UZH, ETH and PHZH in Zurich can all be reached directly by S-Bahn. If you are enrolled at a university in Zurich, take a look at our furnished rooms for students in Zurich.

Is a room in the Zurich Oberland suitable for commuters?

Yes. The region is fully integrated into the ZVV network: the S5, S9, S14 and S15 lines connect the Uster and Wetzikon hubs directly with Zurich main station and Oerlikon, every quarter of an hour at peak times. From smaller municipalities, regional buses take you to the nearest station. By car, the A53 Oberland motorway and the A52 Forch motorway lead to Zurich. At many properties you can also register as a weekly resident, keeping your main residence in your current municipality. With a minimum rental period of one month and a notice period of 14 or 30 days, you stay flexible if your place of work changes.

Which municipalities in the Zurich Oberland are especially popular?

Uster, Wetzikon, Hinwil, Pfäffikon ZH and Egg near Lake Greifensee are popular. Uster and Wetzikon offer shopping, restaurants and a direct S-Bahn connection to Zurich. Municipalities in the Töss Valley such as Bauma or Bäretswil are quieter and more rural. Many people look above all at commuting time and proximity to the station. Have a look at our furnished rooms in Uster or our rooms in Egg!

How do I dispose of waste in the Zurich Oberland?

In the Zurich Oberland, each municipality organises its own waste disposal – usually with a fee-paid bag or a fee sticker. Paper, cardboard, glass and bulky waste are disposed of separately. You can find the details on the website of your municipality.
