Benchmark interest rate halts further rent increases for the time being
The reference interest rate for mortgages in Switzerland will remain at 1.25 per cent as of 2 September 2026. For existing tenancies, this means that, for the time being, there will be neither a new entitlement to rent reductions nor a new basis for increases due to the reference interest rate.
