Hello, I have a question about 'Financing mortgage reference rate for leases'
Also known as:
Hypothekarischer Referenzzinssatz bei Mietverhältnissen
or
Taux d’intérêt de référence applicable aux contrats de bail
I don't have a great understanding of this, but the amount is set by the Swiss government
at 2.25% (gültig seit 02.06.2012). On my lease this number is actually quoted at 3%. I believe you can ask for your rent to be adjusted to account for the discrepancy .
I was wondering if:
1) anyone has more information
2) anyone has gotten a rent reduction with this
3) anyone has a template letter that myself (and others on the forum) could use to talk with our landlords.
Thanks!
