Article 344 of the Code of Obligations (6098) was amended on 18 January 2019 (and is retroactively effective from 1 January 2019). This article regulates the upper limit of rent increases for residences and workplaces with a roof that can be agreed on by parties to a rental agreement or determined by the courts. The upper limit will now be calculated based on the consumer price index and not the producer price index as before.
