Hi,
Wonder if you can advise whether this is normal in Zurich or Switzerland.
After applying to rent an apartment, and my application having been submitted to the 'Managing Agent'. I was informed that I have not been accepted (nor the other applicant), due to not having a C Permit or a Swiss Passport.
I was wondering whether this a normal situation in Switzerland, and whether it is legal to reject an applicant on these grounds? (I have just started working for a large multinational on a full-time Swiss Contract, with a Work Permit B).
Thank you for your advice.
Turned down due to not having Work Permit C or being Swiss national

Well, if 50 guys apply for a place to stay - then only one gets the place.
To reject a B permit from a large multinational is unusual but it happens.
Sometimes it helps if your HR department calls the Managing Agent.
