Are you moving into an apartment all for yourself for the first time? We will give you the boxes for the move. So you’ll have to work less, at least from an economic point of view.

We help you and give you the boxes for the move

If you are going to move into an apartment for your first time or are planning a move, we will give you the boxes. You already have enough expenses. The offer is valid for young people up to the age of 26 who already have or intend to take out home furniture insurance with Mobiliare. We will give you up to 10 boxes for home economics.

 The visit to the apartment

Clarify the open questions, the things that are essential for you and those that are negotiable (see point 1). This way you can begin to understand if the house matches what you are looking for. Probably you will also be asked questions. Be sincere and do not pretend, otherwise cohabitation may not work in everyday life. Therefore, it is really advisable not to lie. Our video presents the “do’s” and “don’ts” for the job interview.

 If the answer is “no”

If potential roommates have chosen someone else, try not to take it personally, even if it will be difficult at first. There are many other beautiful rooms and you will certainly find other nice people to share an apartment with. The best thing is to tell as many friends as possible that you are looking for a room. Probably by word of mouth you will immediately find what you are looking for.

The room is yours, it’s time to sign the contract

If you have won the room, the contract must now be signed. In any case it is important to read it well and maybe even show it to someone who understands it. If you have questions or if there are unclear points it is best to ask your future roommates directly. In any case, we must always clarify if we are principal tenants or subleases. If you are subleasing, you must complete a sublease agreement. The administration will give you a special form.

1. Who knows what to look for, he finds it.

As the well-known proverb says: who seeks, finds. But do you know exactly what you are looking for? Which neighborhood do you want to live in? What size should your room have? How much can you pay? Do you prefer to live with women or men? And what age? Do you want to cook together and have a clean apartment, or do you want to feel independent in the shared house? Surely there are some things you are not willing to discuss, others that you want and others that are negotiable. By carefully reading the ads for rooms to rent you can understand a lot and save yourself a visit to the apartments that do not match your criteria.

2. Where to look?

There are practical platforms to select the ads appropriate to your needs: for example students.ch or Ronorp . Furthermore, in the search for a room you can also involve your friends via Facebook or by e-mail: perhaps one of them knows someone who is looking for a roommate.

The more precisely you describe what you are looking for, the more likely it is to find it. We must not forget the direct contact with people. Tell your friends what you are looking for: word of mouth with acquaintances often leads to unexpected solutions.

3. You have found a room and you want it at all costs

Have you come across an ad that excites you and you absolutely want to live in this shared apartment? Perfect! But now you will have to be noticed by potential roommates. Introduce yourself creatively so as not to disappear into the mass of candidates. Insert in your written application all the necessary information, because if something is missing no one will take the trouble to search for the missing information. Explain clearly why you want to live in that apartment and why you think you are the roommate you are looking for.
