Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the lease clauses excluding any mortgage-rate adjustment for rent fixation and adaptation were valid under tenancy law.
Decisione estratta
The clauses were invalid because they improperly excluded a mandatory statutory criterion for assessing abusive rent and rent reductions.
Motivazione estratta
Mortgage-rate variation is a core cost criterion under the mandatory rent-protection scheme. Parties cannot contract out of Art. 269a and 270a CO or replace the statutory criteria by a parallel contractual system, unless a valid framework agreement regime applies, which was not the case here.
