The other project, accepted by 29 votes to 11, aims to simplify lease terminations for personal needs. The conditions relating to the urgency of the need are relaxed. Currently, it is possible that a lessor will have to wait 3-4 years following invoking an “urgent need” before being able to use their property, explained Philippe Bauer (PLR/NE) for the commission. The urgency of the need is therefore emptied of its meaning, according to him.
Asloca promises a referendum once morest this “sausage”
The left tried to defeat these two projects. Carlo Sommaruga (PS/GE) criticized “a strategy which destabilizes tenancy law in several stages”, also speaking of “salami tactics”. The revision does not meet any need, it only complicates relations between tenants and landlords, he continued. It has a material implication which would affect the majority of households, argued Lisa Mazzone (Les Vert-es/GE). Current law is sufficient, added Guy Parmelin. “Legislative intervention is disproportionate and not justified.”
Carlo Sommaruga, president of Asloca, has already said that the association defending the interests of tenants will launch the referendum once morest the two texts. The senators have also already accepted another project aimed at reducing the administrative burden on donors. When communicating a rent increase, the procedure will be simplified.
