  • Commission supports selective changes to tenancy law

    Commission supports selective changes to tenancy law

    The National Council’s Legal Affairs Committee has passed two important bills aimed at improving the legal situation in tenancy law. One of the bills stipulates that in future, initial rents can only be contested if the renting party was in an emergency situation at the time the contract was concluded. This is intended to reduce legal uncertainty and avoid lengthy proceedings.

    The second bill deals with making it easier to prove the so-called “local and neighbourhood custom”. This is intended to lower the requirements for the proof of comparative rents and enable the admission of industry-established statistics as evidence. The aim is to improve the comparability of rents and thus prevent abusive rent demands.

    Decision following consultation
    The Commission’s decision is based on the results of the consultation on the parliamentary initiatives of former National Councillor Hans Egloff. Despite the minority motions tabled, the committee was clearly in favour of implementing the initiatives in accordance with the wording.

    The bills that have now been adopted are expected to be debated in the National Council in the 2025 spring session.

  • Vocational trainer meeting SVIT Zurich 2024

    Vocational trainer meeting SVIT Zurich 2024

    The reforms to basic commercial training are crucial to ensure that the training of young adults meets the changing demands of the labour market. The new provisions, which are based on a review every five years, have been in force since August 2023. The aim is to ensure that commercial apprenticeships always keep pace with the times. The current projects of Bildung Kaufleute Schweiz and the Interessengemeinschaft Kaufmännische Grundbildung ensure that commercial apprenticeships EFZ and EBA will continue to meet the changing needs of the labour market in the future. The focus here is on the development of competences to facilitate graduates’ direct entry into professional life.

    Experience reports and practical implementation
    This year’s SVIT Zurich vocational trainer meeting will focus on the reform. The organisation for basic commercial training in fiduciary services / real estate will report on its experiences in implementing the reforms. SVIT Zurich will also present ways in which apprentices can be supported throughout the three years of training in accordance with the new training regulations and optimally prepared for the final examination.

    Interactive participation and dialogue
    A key element of the meeting is the opportunity to ask questions directly to the OKGT. This gives participants the opportunity to get actively involved and benefit from the experience and knowledge of the experts.

    Event details
    The vocational trainer meeting will take place on Tuesday, 10 September 2024, from 10:30 to 13:00 on the premises of SVIT Zurich, Siewerdtstrasse 8, 8050 Zurich. Participation is free of charge for both SVIT Zurich members and non-members. As the number of places in the presence mode is limited, members of SVIT Zurich have priority when allocating places.

    This meeting offers a valuable platform for the exchange and networking of vocational trainers and experts in the property and location promotion sector. Participants will have the opportunity to find out about the latest developments in basic commercial training and actively participate in the discussion.
