When the reference rate drops, tenants who have a higher reference rate in their rental agreement are entitled to a rent reduction - that’s what the law says. Yet many tenants don’t claim their right, as a recent ZKB study shows. In Zurich, over 70% of all eligible tenants refrain from claiming it. And I am wondering why? My best guess is that people are simply scared of their landlord’s reaction. Or are there other reasons? Asking because I’m building a tool around this subject. There are so many already, so I’m wondering if I’m actually tackling the right problem. submitted by /u/Valuable-Dream2232
