The report Monitoring commercial rents comes to the following results:<\/p>

• Based on a structural analysis by Wüest Partner, there are around 390,000 business leases in Switzerland with a rental volume of an estimated two billion francs per month. Around CHF 900 million of this is for office space, CHF 500 million for trade and industry, CHF 400 million for retail space and CHF 200 million for hotel and restaurant use. In addition to the 390,000 leases, around 60 percent of the companies run their business in their own property. During the period of maximum restrictions between March 17 and April 26, 2020, around 113,000 tenancies were affected by the closings by the Federal Council. The cumulative rent of the commercial properties affected by closings amounts to 530 million francs per month. This corresponds to 27 percent of the rental volume.<\/li>
• A representative survey by gfs.bern<\/span> came to the conclusion that the proportion of tenants who have difficulties paying their rent in connection with the mandatory closings has risen from 6 to 33 percent in the weeks of the lockdown. This is particularly true of western Switzerland and Ticino. The survey also showed that the majority of tenants (around 60%) sought relief solutions – and the majority have found them. Agreements were reached far more often than disagreements; for the tenant side the ratio of agreements to non-agreements is 3 to 2, for the landlord 9 to 1. The vast majority of the agreements came before the parliamentary decisions of June 2020. In almost three out of four cases, the agreements involved rent reductions.<\/li>
• The economic development so far points to a rapid and strong economic recovery. The number of company bankruptcies and the number of new requests in the statistics of the arbitration authorities are currently within the usual range or below the previous year's level.<\/li>
• An international comparison shows that most European countries – like Switzerland – rely on support measures to secure the liquidity of the businesses affected by closings. There were seldom interventions in terms of tenancy law, and if so, it was an extension of payment or notice periods. There are no statutory rent reductions in the eleven European countries examined.<\/li><\/ul>

  On the basis of these results, the Federal Council comes to the conclusion that there is currently little evidence of comprehensive and area-wide difficulties in the area of commercial rents. However, this does not rule out the possibility that there may be unsatisfactory constellations in individual cases. Depending on how the pandemic develops, the situation can quickly worsen.<\/p>

  For this reason, the Federal Council is currently refraining from taking any measures (e.g. in the legislative area). However, it instructs the Federal Housing Office to continue the commercial rents working group and to discuss any support in the area of advice and information with the cantons. Because experience has shown that regional solutions are best suited to the local situation.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

  Der Bundesrat befasste sich verschiedentlich mit der Situation der Gesch\u00e4ftsmieten. Dabei vertrat er stets die Position, nicht in die privatrechtlichen Beziehungen zwischen Mieterinnen und Mietern und Vermieterinnen und Vermietern eingreifen zu wollen. Am 8. April beauftragte der Bundesrat das WBF, zusammen mit dem EFD, ein Monitoring der Situation im Bereich der Gesch\u00e4ftsmieten vorzunehmen und dem Bundesrat bis sp\u00e4testens Ende Oktober 2020 Bericht zu erstatten. Der Bundesrat hat diesen Monitoringbericht bereits am 7. Oktober 2020 zur Kenntnis genommen, um dem Parlament zu erm\u00f6glichen, die Behandlung des Covid-19-Gesch\u00e4ftsmietegesetzes in Kenntnis des Monitorings zu beginnen. Zu dieser Vorlage, die auf einen Auftrag des Parlaments zur\u00fcckgeht, hat der Bundesrat die Botschaft und den Gesetzesentwurf am 18. September verabschiedet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":22252,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","inline_featured_image":false},"categories":[12481,12476],"tags":[14008,12560,14914,20091,12525,14128,20092,12528,12586],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.immo-invest.ch\/dev\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29612"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.immo-invest.ch\/dev\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.immo-invest.ch\/dev\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.immo-invest.ch\/dev\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.immo-invest.ch\/dev\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29612"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.immo-invest.ch\/dev\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29612\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.immo-invest.ch\/dev\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22252"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.immo-invest.ch\/dev\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29612"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.immo-invest.ch\/dev\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29612"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.immo-invest.ch\/dev\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29612"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
