Sintesi Omnilex

The appellant sought housing support after refusing to remain in her current apartment, invoking neighborhood disturbances and the need to move. The court held that the disturbances were not a major inconvenience justifying an immediate relocation. It also found that she had not shown sufficient efforts to find a cheaper apartment, noting that the 1997 statistical average rent for four-room dwellings indicated that less expensive housing was available. The appeal was dismissed.

Massima Omnilex

LGL 39A; housing allowance/social housing benefit; major inconvenience and duty to seek cheaper accommodation. Neighborhood disturbances do not necessarily constitute a major inconvenience justifying immediate relocation. A claimant must prove adequate efforts to obtain less expensive housing; the assessment may rely on statistical average rents to determine whether cheaper accommodation was realistically available. Absent proof of sufficient search efforts and absent a qualifying hardship, the benefit may be refused.

Résumé

Des troubles de voisinage ne constituent pas un inconvénient majeur justifiant que la recourante change immédiatement d'appartement. La recourante n'a pas prouvé qu'elle avait procédé à suffisamment de démarches pour trouver un appartement moins onéreux. Au vu de la moyenne des loyers de 4 pièces publiée dans l'année statistique 1997, la recourante aurait pu trouver un appartement moins cher.
