HOW DO RENTAL CONTRACTS WORK?
Because so many people rent housing, the rental contracts are quite extensive. Many Americans moving to Basel are relocated by their company, and have the services of a relocation company at their disposal to help them through this process. However, if you are moving to Basel under different conditions or if you are moving within Basel following your initial relocation from the US, consider contracting with a local relocation service to review your apartment contract. The cost is well worth it especially if you are not yet fluent in German. Some of the available relocation services in Basel include: Regio Basel WS Relocation GmbH, PRIMACY Relocation GmbH (Steinentorstrasse 13, Postfach 4010 Basel).
