ATA/599/1998•Housing allowance withdrawn after refusal of cheaper flats
ATA/599/1998Court of Justice / Administrative ChamberSep 22, 1998Dismissed
Extracted by Omnilex
The appeal concerned the suppression of a housing allowance under LGL.39A. The appellant had refused on several occasions to move into cheaper flats proposed by the OCL, invoking reasons of personal convenience such as proximity to a school and public transport. The court held that such considerations are not legally relevant and confirmed the withdrawal of the allowance.
LGL.39A; housing allowance withdrawn where the beneficiary refuses cheaper accommodation repeatedly proposed by the competent office for reasons of mere personal convenience. Convenience grounds such as proximity to school or public transport do not preserve entitlement; refusal of suitable less expensive housing justifies suppression of the allowance.

Les motifs de convenance personnelle (proximité d'une école, du bus, etc...) ne sont pas pertinents. N'a pas droit à une allocation de logement celui qui a refusé à trois occasions d'emménager dans des logements moins chers proposés par l'OCL pour des motifs de pure convenance personnelle.

Whether the housing allowance could be withdrawn after the appellant refused cheaper housing offered on several occasions.
Yes. A person who refuses on three occasions to move into cheaper housing proposed by the OCL for reasons of personal convenience is not entitled to a housing allowance.
Convenience-based reasons such as proximity to a school or bus stop are not relevant justifications for refusing less expensive accommodation.
