The tenants’ association ASLOCA says property owners are using the pretext of renovations to evict long-term tenants who are normally paying below-the-market rates.
A lawyer for the association says it’s becoming more common in French speaking areas – and describes the practice as 'a cancer' that’s spread from the German speaking areas.
In Zurich 13,000 leases have been cancelled for renovation in the last 5 years.
In theory, property owners are supposed to find the tenant alternative accommodation, but often don’t.
