Frequently asked questions

Yes. Always apply for your dream property, regardless of your circumstances. Please note the following: students only qualify for a tenancy if they are in receipt of an income or if they have a rent guarantor who is domiciled in Switzerland. Don’t hesitate to contact us for help with finding accommodation.

Tip: Have you looked into the student halls that the ETH and other universities provide for their students?

It is very important to us that you will feel at home in your new rental property, and viewing a property is the best way to get a good sense of its interior, location and surrounding area.

Contact us directly in the online advertisement via "Contact the advertiser". You will then receive an automated e-mail with viewing information and the opportunity to apply digitally for the flat and/or ask us any questions.

If you have already paid a deposit, you will be able to arrange this with your contact in the property management team and, where applicable, the previous tenant. To organise this, please contact us using the contact form or by emailing service@livit.ch, stating your future address.

PS: Many properties come with detailed floor plans, which we will be happy to pass on to you.

myLivit is the tenant portal. It enables you to sign your rental agreement digitally, view your contract documents and claims easily, online and at any time and allows you to check the processing status. The range of functions is constantly being expanded.

It’s quite simple: You will receive a link by e-mail when you request a viewing. If you would like to apply for the apartment, please fill in the online form. Your application will then be reviewed. If you have been accepted, you will receive an e-mail giving you access to the myLivit tenant portal. This will then contain your contract documents. Once you have checked the details of the contract, you can "sign" digitally by simply swiping to the right on the appropriate bar.

Yes. Under the Swiss Code of Obligations, a rental agreement without a signature becomes valid as soon as both parties agree to it. The annex to your rental agreement contains a record of all signatures, which provides all parties with a record of the dates on which different parts of the agreement were signed.

We recommend using myLivit on a smartphone. The easiest way is to save the page as an app on your home screen, which will allow you to use myLivit and all of its features like an app. myLivit also works on laptops, PCs and tablets. myLivit works best when using Chrome as a browser.

If you haven't yet signed your rental agreement, it will be shown to you as soon as you log in. If you have already signed it, you will unfortunately not be able to view the current version of the agreement for technical reasons. Instead, you will have been sent the new agreement(s) by email. We are working on making it possible for you to view them online very soon. Many thanks for your understanding.
