In the Podcast Twist, a real estate management director and the co -founder of a housing cooperative debate solutions to make housing more affordable in Switzerland. Despite differences, they find points of agreement.
In Switzerland, rents have increased more strongly than wages between 2000 and 2024, indicates the Federal Council, according to which Switzerland is heading “towards a shortage of housing” since 2020. The situation is particularly tense in large urban centers and mountain tourist municipalities.
Two guests from the show Twist have debated in an attempt to find concrete solutions to house the Swiss and the Swiss at affordable prices: Fabien ANEX, director of the real estate m&B real estate and president of the Vaudoise section of the Swiss Union of Real Estate Professionals, and Laurent Guidetti, architect and one of the founders of a housing cooperative, the Bled.
In particular, they find the two interesting to give room for public utility housing, which are managed non -profit.
If we manage to create new districts and then that the authorities who manage this development of neighborhood plan impose a quota of 20, 30% of LUP [logements d’utilité publique, ndlr]I am the first to defend him, sincerely

In Switzerland, the law sometimes gives a few assets to the tenants, who can notably contest their rent, even after having signed the rental contract. A right that Laurent Guidetti used.
I challenged my rent. It was at 2050, it was brought back by the various successive judgments, to the Federal Court, to 880 francs per month. As it happened four years after entering the accommodation, I had to win more than 55,000 francs, if I remember correctly
Should we build more to lower rents? How to stay without breaking the bank?
