Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the rent increase notice of 11 September 2000 was void for insufficiently clear reasoning
Extrahierter Entscheid
The notice was sufficiently clear: it unambiguously relied on adjustment to market rent/locational comparability, and the references to interest rate, index and operating costs were only explanatory background.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under Art. 269d OR the form requirement extends to the reason given. Read with the accompanying letter, the tenant could understand that the increase was justified by market rent, not by non-cost-covering yield. Earlier references to cost-rent did not make this later notice unclear.
