The goverment has once again decided to lower the interest reference rate to a record 1.25% for mortgage holders; this means that you are entitled to have your rent lowered (for the 4th time in 8 years).

Not all rental properties will qualify for the reduction, however. Indexed and state-subsidized rentals are not subject to the reference rate. Private property owners may also not yet be aware
