"Finding a place to live in Thun, involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget and the type of accommodation you're looking for. This could range from a single room in a shared apartment to a family-sized house. Next, you should start your search online. Websites like Homegate, ImmoScout24, and Comparis are popular real estate platforms in Switzerland where you can find listings for apartments and houses. You can filter your search based on your preferences such as location, price, size, and type of property. Another option is to check local newspapers and bulletin boards in supermarkets or community centers, as some landlords still advertise their properties in this way. You can also consider hiring a real estate agent to help you in your search. They can provide you with options that match your criteria, arrange viewings, and assist you with the rental application process. Once you've found a place you're interested in, you'll need to submit a rental application. This typically includes providing proof of income, a copy of your passport or ID, and possibly a reference from a previous landlord. If your application is accepted, you'll then sign a rental contract. Make sure to read it carefully and understand all the terms and conditions before signing. Finally, before moving in, you'll likely need to pay a security deposit, which is usually equivalent to one to three months' rent. This will be returned to you when you move out, provided you leave the property in good condition. Remember, finding a place to live can take time, so it's best to start your search well in advance of when you plan to move," said a member in Thun, Switzerland.
