Questão jurídica principal
Whether limiting social assistance for housing costs and requiring a search for cheaper housing violated constitutional rights.
Decisão extraída
No. Social assistance guarantees only the minimum needed for a dignified existence; cantonal rules may cap housing contributions, require a search for affordable suitable housing, and threaten reductions if ignored.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that Art. 12 BV does not entitle a person to have any apartment rent covered. The canton and municipality may set reasonable local limits, especially under the applicable social welfare rules and SKOS guidelines, absent arbitrariness or unequal treatment.
