There is a strange difference between renting a flat in Germany and renting a flat in Switzerland.

A Swiss flat always has a kitchen already built in (that is not necessarily the same as a built-in kitchen!) and a communal washing machine.

When you rent a flat in Germany you have the option of either putting in your own kitchen, or haggling with the previous tenant, over the price for the one he put in (or haggled over).

Of course - no one told me that before I moved to Switzerland, so I now have a complete kitchen in my cellar after moving here from Germany!
I also have a washing machine in the cellar and a dismantled Wardrobe that is 4 m wide and 2.4 m high.
I live in a 200 year old farmhouse - the highest ceiling here is 1.87 m!
(Just as a matter of interest, the lowest door frame is 1.65 m - ouch)

You'd think that Swiss hand-workers would be aware of such simple facts.
Not so. I recently ordered a double-bed, which was delivered and put together by a professional carpenter. He laid it out upside down on the bedroom floor and started securing the joints.
When I realised what he was doing, I said 'That's not going to work!'.
He gave me one of those looks that says 'Keep your nose out of this - I'm the professional here.'
After a few minutes though, his curiosity got the better of him and he asked 'Why don't you think it will work?'
I pointed out the fact to him, that as the bed's frame is 2.6 m square and the room only 1.84 m high (yes - all my rooms are different in height!), he wasn't going to be able to turn the finished bed over.
He had to contemplate that for some time, before he started to dismantle the frame again.
