Should landlords have stronger rights to refuse subletting?

AI-generated summary, admin reviewed: This vote concerned stricter rules for subletting homes and business premises. Tenants would have needed to submit a written request and obtain written approval from the landlord. Landlords would have gained additional grounds to refuse subletting, including when it was intended to last more than two years, and could have ended the main lease after a warning if the rules were breached. Supporters said the reform would prevent misuse of subletting, while opponents argued that it would unnecessarily weaken tenant protections. Swiss voters rejected the reform.
