Resumo Omnilex

The recourant sought approval of a 6-room apartment in Geneva under LGL 39B. The deciding authority refused approval because the annual rent per room was CHF 4,300, while the average free-market rent for comparable dwellings in Geneva was CHF 3,744. On that basis, the apartment did not satisfy the applicable approval condition. The challenge was therefore dismissed.

Sumário Omnilex

LGL 39B; approval of a dwelling may be refused where the annual rent per room exceeds the relevant benchmark for comparable free-market apartments in Geneva. The decisive criterion is the comparison between the rent charged for the dwelling and the average rent of analogous housing units in the same category; if the requested rent is higher than that average, the dwelling cannot be approved.

Questão jurídica principal

Whether the apartment met the statutory rent requirements for approval under LGL 39B

Decisão extraída

No. With an annual rent per room of CHF 4,300, the apartment exceeded the average free-market rent in Geneva for comparable housing (CHF 3,744) and therefore could not be approved.

Fundamentação extraída

The decisive comparison under the applicable Geneva housing rule showed that the requested apartment was more expensive than the benchmark for comparable 6-room dwellings, so the approval condition was not satisfied.
