Rent an apartment in Switzerland – free and commission-free
CHflat.ch is a free housing platform for all of Switzerland. Tenants create one complete profile – budget, preferred region, number of rooms and the usual documents. Landlords then only see people who genuinely fit the apartment and invite them directly. This removes the flood of applications on both sides.
There are no fees, no commissions and no advertising. Neither searching nor listing costs anything – the platform is supported by voluntary donations. Documents stay encrypted in your profile and are only visible after explicit approval (revDSG-compliant).
