FAQ | for Apartis tenants
To pay attention before leaving
The termination has to be written. The rental contracts are unlimited and can be terminated 2 times a year: with a period of 3 months in advance on 31st August and 31st January.
In case of a termination outside of the agreed dates the tenant has to pay the rent until the official termination date, except for the moment he proposes a suitable next tenant (http://www.unifr.ch/apartis/pdf/statuts/Directive_DH.pdf ), solvent and accepted by the housemates.
If possible, the next tenant proposed by the housemates has the priority. If you want to propose the next tenant you have to ask for the agreement of your housemates.
Attention: Exchange students are not accepted (for these students we reserve special rooms with furniture and special conditions).
The proposed student has to:
- Fill in the form « proposition de successeur »
- and sign it. He also has to accept the renting conditions of Apartis,
- Be accepted by the other housemates,
- Join a copy of his certificate’s school directive quant au droit d'habitation )
- and of his ID-card (permit for foreign students),
- Be able to pay the rent and the guaranty.
Change of room
A room change needs a regularly notice with consideration of the regular time limit (see above). We will charge CHF 50.00 for extraordinary administration fees for room change (new contract, room record).

Sublease
To sublease your room you need the written agreement of Apartis. The main tenant has to give the following documents to Apartis: 1. a copy of the sublease 2. A written reason for subleasing 3. A passport or ID-cards copy of the subleasing tenant 3. Certificate of the subleasing tenant’s school (see directive quant au droit d'habitation).
In any case the main tenant has to move in his room after the sublease. The room can be subleased more expensive for furniture, electricity and extras, but not more than CHF 45.- of the normal rent.
After receiving the signed contract of the new tenant, Apartis will inform the leaving tenant and the housemates. About 15 days before the end of the contract we will invite the leaving and the arriving tenant. A record about the condition of the room and the common rooms will be taken down at the occasion of the handing over at the apartment.
