Tenancy
Tenancy: first, your district’s conciliation board
Disputes over rent, defects or a notice to quit begin in the canton of Zurich before the Paritätische Schlichtungsbehörde in Miet- und Pachtsachen, the joint tenancy conciliation board. Each district has its own, attached to the district court: the Zurich district board for the city, the Winterthur district board for Winterthur. What counts is where the flat or business premises are. The board seeks a settlement; if it fails, the case goes to court.

Claims can be filed at the employer’s seat or at the usual place of work.
