From the magazine
Lex Koller
This document contains a brief outline of the framework and restrictions under the Federal Law on the Acquisition of Real Estate by Persons Abroad – also known as Lex Koller – and the Ordinance on the Acquisition of Real Estate by Persons Abroad.
Collectivization of Outdoor Spaces
The Zurich city parliament is discussing the municipal structure plan, in which it shall be included that outdoor spaces in new and rebuilt buildings are to be made accessible to the public. This is intended to create green space in the city and, in particular, to take account to the feared population growth. Citizens however fear a future compulsion to open up outer spaces and a massive devaluation of their property.
