The Rent Increase Letter To Tenant is a crucial document in Swiss property management, used when landlords need to formally notify tenants of a rent increase. It must be prepared in strict accordance with Swiss federal and cantonal laws, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations and VMWG. The document is required whenever a landlord wishes to increase rent due to factors such as mortgage reference rate changes, increased maintenance costs, or inflation. The letter must be served using official cantonal forms where required, provide clear justification for the increase, and include mandatory information about tenant rights. The timing of the notification must align with legal notice periods, typically requiring notification at least 10 days before the notice period begins for the next possible termination date. This document serves both as a legal notice and as protection for landlords ensuring their rent increase is properly communicated and legally enforceable.
