The Role of SwissTogether

Every relocation is unique, and so is the way we support you. While finding a home is often at the heart of what we do, our role goes much further. No matter what your package includes, you can always count on us to:

• Work exclusively for you — your interests come first.
• Present every property that matches your needs, regardless of who owns or manages it.
• Stay fully independent — we never accept commissions from landlords, brokers, or banks. Our only income comes from our service fee, usually covered by your employer.

Protecting Your Data

Your privacy and trust are central to everything we do. Supporting your move sometimes means collecting and sharing personal details with landlords, agencies, or utility providers. We treat this information with the utmost care:

• Your data is used only for relocation purposes.
• Our policies follow Swiss law, GDPR, and international standards.
• You always have the right to access, correct, or delete your data.

Finding the Right Home

Most rental homes in Switzerland appear on portals like Homegate.ch, Immoscout24.ch, or comparis.ch. But not all properties are visible online. Some are shared through:

• local agencies and private landlords
• newsletters and social networks
• personal and professional connections

With SwissTogether, you gain access to our insider knowledge and network, helping you find not just any home, but the right one for your lifestyle, budget, and priorities.

Applications and Competition

Once you have selected a property, it is the role of Swiss Together to apply with the landlord and present you as a candidate. In cities like Zurich, demand for good homes is high. Depending on the property there may be other candidates for the same property, and in many cases there is such competition.

We’re here to give you an edge:

• We prepare and submit your application, presenting you as a strong candidate.
• Our trusted relationships with agencies and landlords increase your chances of success.
• We encourage keeping one or two backup options until the lease is signed, avoiding unnecessary stress.

Lease Agreements and Negotiations

Rental contracts in Switzerland are fairly standard, but the details matter. We carefully review each lease, explain the key points in English, and ensure you understand your rights and obligations.

We focus on:

• Rental Price and deposits
• Cancellation and extension terms
• Rental Price and deposits
• Utility costs and extra charges
• Rental reserves and adjustment clauses

While negotiating rent isn’t always common, in some cases — especially higher-end properties — it’s possible. We’ll advise when negotiation makes sense and handle it on your behalf.

What This Means for You

At Swiss Together, we do more than show you apartments. We simplify the process, protect your interests, and give you peace of mind. With us by your side, you can leave the stress behind and focus on the exciting part building your new life in Switzerland.
