| Quote: | |  | | | I don't have any idea about the rest of Switzerland, but housing is one sector where Vaud canton has no interest in letting the principles of free market apply (well, you could argue that with the gerance cartels, there isn't a free market anyway). So, to combat the artificial inflation and price fixing among this gang of gentlemen, they do not allow price increases to "market rates"--you have to justify why you are increasing the rent at all. | | | | | i understood increasing them to market rents was considered enough of a justification.
