Once too often Lutz Fernes had probably complained to the landlord about his neighbors.
Because shortly afterwards a notice of termination fluttered into his mailbox.
Especially shortly before Christmas, many
tenants
in
Munich
did not have it easy with their
neighbors
.
Because they had to accept so many parcels and thus became more or less a “packing station”, some of them even tore their hats (tz.de * reported).
However, the fact is: If several people live close together in a small space, disputes are not unusual, on the contrary - even preprogrammed.
However, the
resident of
an
apartment building
in
Munich
apparently misled
his
neighbors
so much that a nasty surprise was waiting for him in his mailbox: the
termination of
his
apartment
without
notice
.
In contrast to the current demolition hammer in a log house, * whereby many tenants, some of whom are socially disadvantaged, are to be thrown out of their apartments due to renovation work,
Lutz Fernes'
termination has a different background.
Munich: tenant complains too often about his neighbors - then he is fired
As the
Bavarian Broadcasting Corporation (BR) reported
in an article, the officer had a particularly "watchful eye" on his
neighbors
.
In other words, if there was a disturbance of the peace, garbage that was not picked up or ancillary costs that were too high, the
landlord called
the complaint immediately
.
This is the
Münchner Gewofag
, which rents more than 36,000 apartments and commercial units in the state capital of Bavaria.
However
, the
housing association
apparently no longer
wanted to
see Lutz Fernes'
commitment
to order - which is why they announced their
resignation
to him and his family
.
The reason: "
Too many complaints
."
“We were stunned.
At first we didn't even know what to do, ”says
Lutz Fernes
in the
BR's
article
about the moment he got the
letter of resignation
from the mailbox.
"I suspect that
Gewofag
is trying to
intimidate
the
tenants
- so that you can put a muzzle on
your mouth and keep your
mouth shut."
Termination of apartment "unlawful": Lutz fernes hires a lawyer
In the
event of
grievances,
however
,
Lutz Fernes
simply cannot
and does
not want to look the other way, which is why he
has collected evidence
for his numerous
complaints
.
For this reason, he was also convinced that the
termination had
no legal basis - and hired a lawyer at his own risk.
He examined the case very carefully and found that it was actually an "obviously illegal dismissal".
The
BR
subsequently
asked
Gewofag
for a statement, whereupon the managing director stated in a letter that he had re-examined the case and initiated the "termination of the lawsuit".
However, the
housing association
never
apologized
to
Lutz Fernes
.
With the ongoing housing shortage in Munich *, however, he and his family are happy enough
to be able to stay
in their
apartment
.
