Hi All,
i wanted to get some advice if possible on my rights as a tenant in a WG here in Zurich.
My current situation is as follows.
Im currently unemployed and on the RAV. The RAV alerted me to a possibility to export my last remaining 3 months entitlement back to the UK to find a job there. I have applied for this for the 1st Sept to use up exactly my last 3 months of RAV entitlement. It is yet to be approved (meeting on 18th). If all goes ahead then i will need to be in the UK on 1st Sept to enrol with job seekers there.
This means i need to move out of my flat at some point towards the end of the month.
I have told the current leaseholder of my plans, admittedly without much notice (07.08.15) that i'll be leaving. Its a WG, with 3 bedrooms. Ive advertised the apartment on WG Zimmer and am trying as hard as possible to get someone in suitable as soon as possible to take over my room. I have said to the leaseholder that i understand it will be very difficult to get someone in for the 1st sep at this notice especially as she leaves for 2 week vacation on Friday this week! We'll give it our best shot! if we don't manage to get a new tenant for Sept 1st then i have said i will pay rent as normal even though i wont be there. I'm not out to stitch anyone up and have told the leaseholder that.
Here's the interesting part!
I have no verbal or written contract with the current leaseholder. For whatever reason we never made one. I have contracts with the previous 2 leaseholders but not the current one. I assume those contracts are dissolved once that person cancels their contract with the main leasehold?
I just want to know my rights in this current far from ideal situation.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance
Rob
