Moving to Rossemaison is like moving to any residential village a stone’s throw from Delémont, on the slope of the valley. The terrain and the Jura winter matter as much as the volume to be transported. To move to Rossemaison under good conditions, describe your project online: professional removal companies from the region will contact you and prepare a free, no-obligation quote.
Rossemaison, a residential village above Delémont
Rossemaison is a residential village next to Delémont, set on the slope of the Delémont valley. This setting appeals to families and to people who work in town but want a quieter environment. For a move, this means fairly varied needs: you typically find detached houses, villas or small apartment buildings, depending on the part of the village.
Houses often involve more volume (cellar, attic, garden, outdoor furniture) than a city flat. Conversely, a small apartment building raises the question of landings, stairs and a lift, if there is one. In both cases, it helps to walk through the property before describing your move: rooms to empty, heavy or bulky items, outbuildings, available parking spaces.
If you are coming from Delémont or going there, a local move is simple to organise, but it needs as much care over access and scheduling as a longer journey.
Access, parking and floors in Rossemaison
The village sits on a slope: some streets can be steep, and access for a removal lorry is not always as direct as on flat ground. Before the date, check whether a large vehicle can get through, the distance between where the lorry can stop and the front door, and whether there are steps or entrance paths.
A few practical points:
- Carrying distance: the further the lorry is from the entrance, the more time and labour loading takes. Mention it in your request.
- Floors and stairs: state the number of floors, whether there is a lift and the width of the stairs, especially for large furniture.
- Furniture lift: for a high floor, an accessible balcony or a narrow staircase, it can replace carrying by hand.
- Snow and ice: in winter, the canton of Jura has cold, snowy conditions. Plan for clearing access routes and allow extra time.
If the lorry or a furniture lift has to occupy the public road, prior permission from the commune or the police may be required. Ask a few days, or even a few weeks, in advance. Our guide on the parking permit for moving day explains the procedure.
Choosing the right time to move to Rossemaison
A tenant’s notice period is generally three months, for the date set by local custom or, failing that, for the end of a quarter of the lease (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 find out about local custom. Notice must be given in writing (art. 266l CO). To find out more, read our guide on terminating a lease.
Around the customary lease dates, removal companies are generally in greater demand: book early to have a choice of dates. If you cannot meet the notice period or the date, you can release yourself by putting forward a solvent replacement tenant who is willing to take over the lease on the same terms (art. 264 CO).
As for the season, the Jura winter is cold and snowy, which can complicate access and carrying in a hillside village. In summer, the heat makes the work harder for the crews and for you. The shoulder seasons are often more comfortable, but above all choose the date that fits your lease and your keys.
Administrative steps for your move to Rossemaison
Every move must be reported to the residents’ registration office (contrôle des habitants): departure in the old commune, arrival in the new one, within the period set by the canton. In many communes, the report can be made online through eMoving (eUmzugCH); check whether this is the case for yours.
Other points to plan for:
- Change of address: bank, insurers, employer, subscriptions, post.
- Move-out inspection (état des lieux): when you leave your home, it is used to record its condition. Plan for cleaning and for returning all the keys.
- Rental deposit: it cannot exceed three months’ rent for a home (art. 257e CO) and is paid into a blocked account in your name. Remember to have it released when you leave.
- Arriving from abroad or leaving for France: the French border is close. Customs and residence permit formalities vary depending on your situation; check with the relevant authorities before the date. See also the guide on registering with the commune.
Useful services for moving to Rossemaison
Residential moving
For a family or a couple leaving or joining a home in Rossemaison, residential moving covers loading, transport and unloading. Give the access details when you make your request: this lets the removal companies size the lorry and the crew.
Furniture lift
In a hillside village, a narrow staircase or a high floor can make carrying difficult. A furniture lift lets items go through a window or a balcony. It may require occupation of the public road, which must be reported to the commune.
Packing and unpacking
If you are short of time or have fragile items, packing and unpacking saves you hours of preparation. It is useful for crockery, picture frames or cellar and attic equipment.
Furniture assembly and disassembly
Wardrobes, beds, shelves: furniture assembly and disassembly makes it easier to get through the stairs and doors of a house or building.
Storage
If your move-out date does not coincide with your move-in date, storage lets you keep your belongings for as long as necessary.
End-of-lease cleaning
To hand the home back in good condition, end-of-lease cleaning prepares the move-out inspection.
