In June, the Tenants Association submitted their rent control initiative, with 140,048 signatures calling for lower rents. The Federal Council had to respond. Its response is a scandal, because its proposals achieve precisely the opposite and drive rents even higher. It’s a real outrage to tenants when the Federal Council proposes the following: 💣 The restriction on landlord profits is to be lifted: away from the currently legally mandated cost-based rent, towards market-based rent: free rein for landlords to raise rents. 📈 Rents are to be more closely linked to inflation: If healthcare costs or food prices rise, rents will increase accordingly. Rents would automatically rise without anything changing in your apartment. Instead of setting limits on exorbitant rents, this will eliminate the last remaining protection against exploitative rents. Sign the Tenants Association petition to withdraw these proposals, which are detrimental to all tenants: https://www.mietpreisexplosion-stoppen.ch/ Source: www.mieterverband.ch submitted by /u/Key_Classic_8722
