The notice of termination must be received by Livit AG, Altstetterstr. 124, 8048 Zurich at the latest on the last day prior to the commencement of the period of notice. If we receive the notice of termination on the 1st day of a month, this is too late and the tenant will be liable for a further month.
The tenant may only be released from his obligations under the tenancy agreement prematurely, if he proposes a suitable new tenant, who is able to pay and ready to take over the tenancy agreement under the same conditions at the time that the property is returned, to the landlord.
If you want to be certain that you will be able to have the same room following your return, you will have to look for a subtenant. In that case, the tenancy agreement will not have to be terminated. It is only possible to have a subtenant with the management's written permission. If no subtenant is found, you will either have to pay for the room during your absence or the tenancy agreement will have to be terminated. It is not possible to reserve rooms in advance.
The same as the main tenant.
Contact the management. The tenancy agreement must be terminated. The room is handed back in the normal way.

The lounge including bar is provided for the sole use of the residents of the hall of residence and is not open to the public.

The flat-rate final cleaning fee of CHF 150.00 seems very high to me. How does it come about? The cleaning includes the refrigerator compartment, the food storage compartment in the kitchen, sanitary facilities in the room, the furniture, the floor, the window and the blinds. The sum of CHF 150.00 represents the average amount in the experience of the cleaning company.
No. The final cleaning is carried out exclusively out by the hall caretaking staff. The lump sum is included in the amount of the security deposit and will be deducted directly from the security deposit with the final account.
Provided that the rental property does not show signs of any exceptional wear and tear and there are no other claims, the deposit is generally paid out 2 - 3 weeks following the termination of the tenancy agreement.
