Second dwelling rule does not cover temporary exchanges

ATA/136/1997Court of Justice / Administrative ChamberFeb 19, 1997Confirmed

Extracted by Omnilex

Omnilex summary

The decision holds that Art. 7 ch. 6 RLGL concerns tenants who hold a second dwelling on a long-term basis. It does not apply where the second dwelling is only temporary because the tenants are in the process of exchanging dwellings under Art. 39 A LGL. The text provided contains no further procedural details, parties, or dispositive orders.

Omnilex headnote

Art. 7 ch. 6 RLGL; scope of the provision on second dwellings; the rule addresses tenants who maintain a second dwelling on a lasting basis, not temporary situations arising from a dwelling exchange under Art. 39 A LGL. The decisive criterion is the durability of the dual-housing situation; a merely transitional occupancy linked to an exchange process falls outside the provision’s teleological scope.

Key legal question

Scope of Art. 7 ch. 6 RLGL for tenants with a second dwelling

Extracted holding

Art. 7 ch. 6 applies to tenants who have a second dwelling on a long-term basis, not to those only temporarily in that situation because they are arranging a dwelling exchange under Art. 39 A LGL.

Extracted reasoning

The provision is aimed at stable, lasting situations of dual housing; a temporary configuration linked to an exchange process does not fall within its purpose.
