Résumé Omnilex

The court held that a social-housing tenant did not satisfy the conditions of Art. 39A LGL by stating that he was not seeking a cheaper apartment because he expected a second child. It further held that his status as a member of the cooperative owning the building did not exempt him from the obligation to move to another apartment. The challenge was dismissed.

Regeste Omnilex

Art. 39A LGL; obligation to change apartment in social housing; the tenant must satisfy the statutory conditions for remaining in the dwelling. A personal wish to keep the apartment because of an anticipated second child does not by itself defeat the relocation requirement. Membership in the housing cooperative owning the building does not constitute an exception to, or obstacle against, the statutory duty to change apartments (consid. unspecified).

LGL.39 A

Résumé

Le locataire qui prétend ne pas chercher un appartement moins cher car il entend avoir un deuxième enfant, ne répond pas à la condition de l'art.39 A LGL. Le fait qu'il soit sociétaire d'une société coopérative propriétaire de l'immeuble n'est pas un obstacle à l'obligation de changer d'appartement.
