Rents in Switzerland are increasing significantly

According to the Homegate rental index, which has been collected together with the Zürcher Kantonalbank since 2009, required rents increased by 2.8% in 2022. According to the study, this significant increase is the result of a growing scarcity on the housing market and higher heating and accessory costs.

In addition to the record increase in rents, a special feature was the magnitude of the increases. Because the required rents have not decreased in any canton. Rental prices increased the most in Graubünden, with 6.7%.
