Günstiger als Zürich und Genf, und wegen der Grenze speziell: Manche Studierende wohnen in Deutschland oder Frankreich und pendeln. Das funktioniert, verkompliziert aber Bewilligung und Anmeldung — prüfen Sie es, bevor Sie unterschreiben.
Agencies in the canton of Basel-Stadt ask for a debt-collection extract, proof of income, and a guarantor resident in Switzerland. Two of those three are impossible to produce before you arrive, which is the real reason agency listings stay closed to you. Why applications get rejected explains the circle and how to get round it.
Your deposit is capped at three months' net rent and blocked in your own name — up to CHF 3'600 at the top of the range here. How the deposit works.
Correspondence, leases and cantonal paperwork are in German. Non-EU students in Basel-Stadt are asked to prove around CHF 21'000 for one academic year — confirm the figure with the cantonal office rather than with any website.
We run student housing in Lausanne. When it is full — or you are in another city — we search the market for you, and we co-sign leases so agencies accept your file.
