Local facts
Serviced apartments: what's particular to Lausanne
The official count of empty homes, 523 (1 June 2026) (Statistique Vaud, checked ), leaves out secondary residences and furnished apartments, so it says nothing about furnished stock (lausanne.ch statistics, checked ). The residents' office accepts a lease, a sublease or an accommodation certificate with the landlord's ID and lease as proof of address (lausanne.ch, checked ).
Letting through online platforms has had its own cantonal rules since 1 July 2022: hosts notify the commune, which keeps a register of hosts, and hosts keep a guest register with ID copies and exact dates of stay (Canton of Vaud, checked ). In shortage districts, which include Lausanne, letting a flat for more than 90 days in a calendar year through a platform needs a change-of-use authorisation if the flat was let in the traditional way before (Canton of Vaud, checked ).
A tenant who sublets needs the landlord's written consent, and the landlord has 30 days to answer (Canton of Vaud (RULV), checked ). The tourist tax is a communal matter, and the Union des communes vaudoises has an agreement with Airbnb to collect it (Canton of Vaud, checked ).
Registering in Lausanne
Newcomers register with the Service du contrôle des habitants at Rue du Port-Franc 18. The registration deadline is 14 days (2026) (lausanne.ch, checked ). Arrivals from abroad or from another canton book a counter appointment and attend in person with a complete file (lausanne.ch, checked ), and the city's fee schedule sets CHF 30 for registering an arrival (lausanne.ch, checked ). For the national rules, see registering at your commune.
