Planning a move to Courrendlin means dealing with a commune in the Delémont valley that, since 2019, covers three localities: Courrendlin, Rebeuvelier and Vellerat. Whether you are looking for a removal company in Courrendlin for a flat on the valley floor or for a more isolated house, access differs from one area to the next. This page helps you move to Courrendlin without surprises, from the lease to the quote.
Courrendlin, Rebeuvelier and Vellerat: a commune with three faces
Courrendlin lies on the Birse, in the Delémont valley. The commune merged with Rebeuvelier and Vellerat in 2019, so a move “to Courrendlin” can mean any one of these villages, which changes how you should prepare the day.
Depending on the area, you will find rental blocks, detached houses, village houses or small converted farms. Blocks mostly raise questions about floors, lifts and space for the lorry; houses and older buildings raise questions about narrow staircases, courtyards or access tracks. When you describe your home in the request, state the type of building and the locality, so that the movers can estimate the work correctly.
Access, parking and floors in Courrendlin
The first thing to do is measure the distance between your front door and the spot where the lorry can stop. The longer that route, the more time carrying takes. In a village with narrow or steep streets, a large lorry cannot always reach the door; a smaller vehicle or shuttle trips may then be needed.
The Jura has cold, snowy winters. In snow or ice, side roads and the areas around houses call for more care and time; if you are moving in winter, allow some margin in the schedule.
For upper floors, a narrow staircase or a bulky item (sofa, wardrobe, piano), a furniture lift can save a lot of handling. If the lorry or the lift has to occupy the public highway, prior authorisation from the commune or the police may be required: ask the commune a few days or weeks ahead. The guide on the parking permit for moving day explains the procedure.
Choosing the right time to move to Courrendlin
A tenant can terminate a lease with three months’ notice, for the date set by local custom or, failing that, for the end of a lease quarter (art. 266c of the Swiss Code of Obligations, CO), unless the contract provides for longer. Customary dates vary by canton and commune: check your lease and local custom. Notice must be given in writing (art. 266l CO), and for the family home the spouse or partner must expressly consent (art. 266m and 266n CO). The guide on moving dates in Switzerland helps you find your bearings.
Around those dates, removal companies are in higher demand: request your quote early. As for the season, the Jura winter brings cold and snow, which complicate carrying and traffic; spring and autumn are often more comfortable. Leaving before the end date is still possible if you present a solvent replacement tenant, ready to take over the lease on the same terms (art. 264 CO).
Administrative steps in Courrendlin
Every move must be reported to the residents’ registration office (contrôle des habitants): departure in your old commune, arrival in the new one, within the period set by the canton. In many communes this can be done online through eMoving (eUmzugCH); check what your commune offers. Also remember to give your new address to your employer, insurers, bank and postal services.
For the home you are leaving, plan the move-out inspection (état des lieux) and the return of the keys. The rental deposit may not exceed three months’ rent for a dwelling (art. 257e CO) and is held in a blocked account in your name; it is released once the home has been returned in good condition. As the French border is close, leaving for France or arriving from abroad also involves customs and residence permit formalities, to be checked with the relevant authorities.
Useful services for your move to Courrendlin
Residential moving
Flat, house or student studio: removal companies in the region organise loading, transport and placement. Residential moving suits families and single people alike.
Packing and unpacking
Boxes, protection of fragile items, crockery: packing and unpacking saves time, especially when the schedule between two leases is tight.
Furniture lift
Upper floor, narrow staircase, accessible balcony: a furniture lift lets furniture go in and out through the façade. Remember the authorisation to occupy the public highway.
Furniture assembly and disassembly
Beds, wardrobes, modular kitchens: furniture assembly and disassembly avoids damaging the pieces and makes it easier to get through the staircases of village houses.
End-of-lease cleaning
To hand the home back in the expected condition, end-of-lease cleaning prepares the move-out inspection.
Storage
If your move-out and move-in dates do not coincide, storage keeps your belongings for as long as needed.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions: moving to Courrendlin
Since 2019, the commune has combined Courrendlin, Rebeuvelier and Vellerat. State the exact locality in your request, as access, streets and type of home differ from one village to another. The movers can then prepare the right vehicle.
If the lorry or a furniture lift occupies the public highway, prior authorisation from the commune or the police may be required. Ask a few days or weeks before the planned date. The movers can advise you on the most suitable spot.
Jura winters are cold and snowy, which can slow traffic and make the areas around houses more slippery. Allow a margin in the schedule and mention the season in your request. If your date is flexible, spring or autumn is often simpler.
Report your departure and arrival to the residents' registration office (contrôle des habitants), within the period set by the canton, possibly online through eMoving (eUmzugCH). Then give your new address to your insurers, bank and employer. For a departure to France, additional formalities apply.
