My question is, if he needs to give an address never the less, does the city council notify the Hausverwaltung agency or what papers do they require?
My boyfriend is of EU country and only comes for work 3 months. For that he doesn`t need a permit, just an online form to click that he is here and working. He also does not need health insurance in this case.
If you take in a sub-tenant, you have to inform your landlord, including the amount of rent that he will be paying, and from when he will be living with you.

You don’t have to inform your landlord if you share your flat with a girlfriend or boyfriend, that is if you don’t make her/him pay a rent.
Did that with girlfriend (now wife) and daughter when she moved back.
I just had to give a letter to the commune stating that they were living with me.

Perhaps this is one of those matters that are regulated differently from Canton to Canton.
As far as I understand it, you do have to inform the landlord, whether or not your partner is paying rent, as the landlord has a right to know who is living in the building .
The three options are set out in this article (in German):

The partner moves in and lives for free. The landlord must accept this. The partner becomes a co-tenant. The landlord must give permission. After that, the parties can be held liable for the rent jointly and severally, i.e. the landlord can persue either person for the full rental payment. The partner becomes a sub-tenant. The landlord must give permission, unless the sub-rental conditions (which must be shown to the landlord) are wrong (e.g. main tenant charging too much rent). Darf meine Freundin bei mir wohnen?
Deine Freundin darf zu dir in deine Mietwohnung ziehen. Vertraglich habt ihr dazu drei verschiedene Möglichkeiten. Erstens: Sie kann als Lebenspartnerin ohne Mietvertrag einziehen. Der Vermieter kann das nicht verbieten. Nötig ist es aber, den Vermieter vor dem Einzug der Freundin über die neue Mitbewohnerin zu informieren. Er hat Anrecht zu wissen, wer sein Haus bewohnt. Mit dieser Variante hat deine Freundin allerdings keinen Mieterschutz. Willst du als Mieter, dass die Freundin die Wohnung wieder verlässt, hat sie keine rechtliche Möglichkeit, sich dagegen zu wehren. Kündigst du die Wohnung, muss auch sie die Wohnung verlassen. Is my girlfriend allowed to live with me?
Your girlfriend can move into your rented apartment. You have three different contractual options. Firstly, she can move in as a life partner without a rental contract. The landlord cannot forbid that. However, it is necessary to inform the landlord about the new roommate before your girlfriend moves in. He has the right to know who lives in his house. With this variant, however, your girlfriend has no tenant protection. If you, as a tenant, want your girlfriend to leave the apartment again, she has no legal way of defending herself. If you cancel the apartment, she must also leave the apartment.
That would mean that you also need to inform them when you have a child.
Makes no sense.

Yes. It is my understanding that a tenant must inform the landlord of births, those who move in or out, and deaths. I think it makes sense for the landlord to know who lives in the property and I thought the landlord had a right to that knowledge. That's supported be the article from which I quoted.
We let our landlord know in a 'friendly' way when we have guests staying for a longer period of time.... both to avoid any question of 'illegal' sublet, and also in case there is an emergency or if they come into contact, so our landlord knows that they are supposed to be there!
As said, 'guests' are totally fine, as long as they are not staying permanently and not paying rent.
The clarification may be needed in this case as you will probably put your boyfriend's name on the letterbox, even if it's just temporary, so that he can get official mail. Because in Switzerland, if you're not registered, or your name is not on the letter box, the postman will have difficulty delivering the post!
