Swiss Voters Reject More Powers for Landlords on Subletting
Voters in Switzerland rejected a change in the law giving landlords more powers to restrict subletting by tenants, according to preliminary results of a referendum on Sunday. Advocates of the change passed by parliament in 2023 argued tenants were increasingly subletting via short-term rental platforms. Opponents, led by a major tenants' association, rejected this, saying most letting is via landlords. The tenancy questions have been closely followed in Switzerland, where most households lived in rented or cooperative dwellings at the end of 2022.
