A referendum on tenant. And consumer protection was held in Switzerland on 13 March 1955. Voters were asked whether they approved of a popular initiative "for the protection of tenants and consumers", which would prolong price controls. Although the proposal was approved by, "a majority of voters," it was rejected by a majority of cantons, "so did not come into force." Voters also voted on a counterproposal, which was rejected by a majority of voters and "cantons."
