Additional services of the landlord or value-enhancing investments may give rise to a rent increase. Whether an increase is permissible or unfair is determined by various criteria. <\/p>\n
If the costs for additional services passed on by the landlord to the tenant exceed the permissible amount or if costs are passed on which do not constitute additional services, the resulting rent is unfair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additional services of the landlord within the meaning of art. 269a lit. b CO are understood to be value-enhancing investments, an enlargement of the rented property or additional ancillary services (art. 14 para. 1 VMWG). Energy improvements are also deemed to be additional services (art. 14 para. 2 WMWG).<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n
The amount of the permissible rent increase depends on various factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the case of a comprehensive overhaul, 50 to 70 per cent of the costs are generally considered to be value-enhancing investments (art. 14 para. 1 VMWG). If it is not a comprehensive overhaul, the value-preserving portions are to be distinguished from the value-enhancing portions (Art. 14 para. 3 VMWG). The individual determination of the shares takes precedence over the lump-sum calculation (BGer 4C.287\/2001, E.3).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The value-enhancing investment bears interest at the rate of the maximum permissible return on equity (art. 14 para. 4 WMWG; reference interest rate plus surcharge).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maintenance work (including deferred maintenance) is not considered a value-enhancing investment (BGer 4A_530\/2012, E.3.2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rent may only be increased after completion of the work and if the relevant evidence is available (Art. 14 para. 5 WMWG).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
