a) will it be accepted by landlord?

b) will i keep my name on the door?

c) will i be asked by any institution where i live (maybe not immediatly but lets say after one year)?

A) depends

B) maybe but you do not live there

C) yes

If you are trying to avoid letting the authorities know that you do not live there but abroad, while applying for a permit, bonne chance. You will need it.

ok so it does not count to the history?

So you want to apply for citizenship but not live here. As said, good luck, you‘ll need it as they don‘t just throw the passport at anyone who lived here and can‘t be bothered to stay.

I believe the maximum sub-let is two years. The owners permission is always required.

During the naturalisation process you will be contacted multiple times. Sometimes for information, sometimes with bills to be paid, sometimes with information related to your application. Some people report that the police have visited at random times.

a) To sublet an apartment, you must have written permission from your landlord. If you do not get permission, and sub-let anyway, your landlord has the right to terminate your contract immediately. You may be asked to demonstrate your intention to return to that address and continue living there, perhaps by explaining where you will be living, instead, what you will be doing while away, and when you intend to re-commence living at that address. A landlord who believes that a tenant will not return, can refuse to grant permission for the sublet. Three years seems like a very long time to "intend" to return, unless this is firmly documentable.

b) Your name on the door and letter-box is, taken correctly, there only if you do, in fact, live there. If you sub-let for a short time (such as 3 or 6 months while you go travelling) then your registration with the authorities will stay the same and your name remains on the door. If you leave for a year or more, then you no longer live there, and must be registered, with the authorities, at your new address in Switzerland.

c) Your registered address equals where you live. If you do not live there, you are not allowed to be registered as living there. Your contracts with organisations such as insurances, both medical and others, are determined with respect to your domicile, and if you no longer reside there, that could negatively influence such other contracts.

The Swiss sytem is built well, and it is unwise to try to get around it. Many have tried. Yes, there are checks and controls. And most especially on those people who, like you - taken from your other thread - are applying for naturalisation.

Do you have to have written permission from your landlord? I thought they only needed to be notified that you were going to sub-let?

Yes, you do. Merely notifying the landlord is not sufficient. Sub-letting without permission from the landlord is a sufficient reason for the landlord to be able to terminate the rental contract immediately.

However, the landlord may not withhold permission, as long as certain conditions are fulfilled, such as: full details of the sub-tenants made known to the landlord Swiss contact address or reprentative of the main tenant during the sub-let the rental must not be excessive (= not more than the rental the main tenant pays to the landlord, plus perhaps a small addition if sub-let with the main tenant's furniture in place) the sub-let must not bring the landlord any disadvantages, when compared to the main rental contrace (= to more or less the same kind of tenants in terms of number of persons, usage, solvency, etc.) the duration must be specified, and not seem to indicate that the main tenant no longer intends to return to the property

In OP's case, it seems to me that the landlord could easily consider that the main tenant has no real intention to return to continue living in the property.

There is no limit to the sublet time - landlords may try to tell you their rules say X years max but the law does not support that.

However, you need to show intention to return, so the longer the harder to do that.

We did 3 years and was fine (after landlord tried to tell us it's max 1 year)
