S

Snow removal

The building maintenance team clears the snow in front of the garage and sidewalk every morning and evening. During the day, further heavy snowfall may cause obstructions or icy conditions. Despite all precautions taken by the building management, we accept no liability for accidents.

Sallenbachstrasse is a private road, therefore the City of Zurich does not automatically remove snow from the sidewalks and street. For this reason, all Property owners on Sallenbachstrasse have entered into a cleaning and snow removal contract with the City of Zurich, proportionally based on their share of the property.

However, it should be noted that snow removal priorities are strictly regulated: access to hospitals, fire stations, main traffic arteries, etc. Therefore, in the event of heavy snowfall, Sallenbachstrasse may not be cleared until around noon.

Stairwell

The stairwell serves as an escape route in case of fire. Therefore, no objects may be placed in front of the apartment door.

Stroller room

As a tenant, you have the option of storing your stroller in the stroller room. This room is lockable and is exclusively for storing strollers.

Please always lock the room when leaving, thank you.

Sublet

Rental income from subtenants is generally permitted. However, the subtenants must be reported to the Property management company by name.

We recommend initially limiting the sublease period in writing to a maximum of two years. It can then be extended as needed. If the sublease period is not limited in writing, subtenants have full rights to request an extension if the main tenant terminates the lease.

The main tenants are in any case liable to the Property management for outstanding payments and for damages to third parties.

Sun blinds

In bad, windy weather, please retract the awnings in good time. Please also check the weather forecast, especially if you will be away.

T

Table Tennis

During the warmer months, a table tennis table is available for general use in the forecourt.
Installation instructions

When playing, we recommend leaning the inflatable air mattresses against the lowest balcony as impact protection. These are located in the bicycle storage room during the summer months.

Please reattach the protective cover to the table tennis table after use and push the table back to its original, wind-protected location.

Termination

Termination dates: End of every month (except December)
Landlord's notice period: 3 months
Notice period for tenants: 3 months

If the lease agreement was concluded with multiple tenants, the notice of termination must be signed by all tenants.

We would like to ask you to also inform the owners of your notice of termination via a brief email. This is not about the reason for termination, but simply to let them know that an apartment is becoming available.

Theft

The property management/owners are taking every possible measure to prevent theft in and around the property. Tenants can also contribute by always locking communal areas such as the bicycle storage room, stroller room, basement storage units, garage, etc. Thank you.

Thoughtfulness

In the interest of good relations among the tenants, everyone commits to mutual consideration.

TV

U

Underfloor heating

The apartments are equipped with underfloor heating. Please note that any temperature adjustment you make will only be noticeable after approximately 2-3 hours. Underfloor heating systems are very slow to respond.

V

Ventilate

Tilt windows are not usually installed in new buildings these days due to the increased risk of mold growth. Furthermore, the heat loss during the colder months from permanently tilted windows is another argument against their use.

However, there are also understandable reasons that speak in favor of tilt windows. Some people only sleep with the windows closed, while others appreciate the gentle airflow provided by the tilt function during sleep. There are many other pros and cons.

From our perspective, tilt windows offer added comfort if tenants use them responsibly. Tilt windows are perfectly safe during the warmer months anyway.

During the heating season, we recommend using the tilt function only at night for sleeping. During the day, full ventilation makes more sense and saves energy.

There is a greater risk of mold growth because cool outside air constantly comes into contact with warm interior walls when the window is tilted. In any case, please do not leave windows tilted open when you are away on vacation – especially during the colder months.

Each apartment is equipped with a comfort ventilation unit. These units ensure a supply of filtered air without opening windows, especially in apartments located directly on busy streets. Ventilation units are usually installed in every room.

This isn't necessary on Sallenbachstrasse. Nevertheless, the decision was made to install at least one device. It's particularly beneficial for pollen allergy sufferers, as the devices have a pollen filter that is replaced annually.

For instructions on how to use the ventilation unit, please refer to the enclosed apartment folder.

Visitor parking

The tenants are aware of the rules and conditions.

If there are still any uncertainties, here you will find the information you need.

W

Wash

Each apartment has a washer and dryer stack installed. For laundry that you don't want to dry in the dryer, a drying room is available in the basement. See Drying room
