Greetings group! I was hoping to get advice on a Regie contract situation I am currently exploring. I have a direct contract with a Regie on an apartment in Geneva, where I am listed as a sole occupant. However, I would like to have my boyfriend officially registered with the Regie and included in the contract. My boyfriend is from the UK, lives and works there. Since the flight to Geneva is under 2 hours, he visits practically every weekend, and sometimes works remotely from my apartment for 2 weeks at a time. UK passport holders do not require a visa to come to Switzerland, so he can fly back and forth without having to be registered in Geneva. He does not have any Swiss ties (no Carte de Legitimation, no job here, etc). However, for our future planning, we both want him to be registered in my apartment. Any idea if this can be done? Will the Regie require documents other than his passport? As a “tourist” can he even be registered with me on the contract? I am more than happy to hold all financial and legal responsibility for the apartment, but we do need his name at least included on the lease and on the postal box/front door. As we will be applying for domestic partnership eventually, we need to start collecting evidence that he does live up to 2 weeks per month with me here in Geneva, and registering with the Regie would be the first step. Any ideas? Thank you all in advance!

This is a bit tricky. I suggest you join ASLOCA which is an organisation which advises tenants. You need to pay a small fee to become a member and the lawyers who often speak English will be able to advise.

Have you asked the Regie what they require?
As a UK citizen, you could say the "permit is in process" but would like to have him registered at the adress.
Its likely they will stick to the "rules" and require some paperwork from him, even if you are guaranteeing the rent.

Speaking from a position of complete ignorance, i can't see why the regie would want to put his name on the lease in any form. They will want to see a residency permit here of some description otherwise it wouldnt have any legal basis. If you are trying to establish he has some "roots" here maybe he can get some kind of permit from the OCP?
