Tenant sleeps in gazebo: scandal surrounding problematic apartment block!
A tense living situation is causing a stir in Göttingen: a tenant has attracted public attention after sleeping in a gazebo for days. The reason: an apartment lock that was changed without prior notice, which locked him out of his own apartment. Loud NDR The tenant is now fighting for his right to access his apartment after the Göttingen district court ordered that the landlord must open the door for him. This court ruling describes the lockout as forbidden personal power.
The responsible managing director of property management Coeles GmbH, Dominik Fricke, denied having ordered the lock to be replaced. The situation is complicated because the tenant also owes rent and has been given notice of termination without notice, although an eviction notice is required for a legally valid lockout - which is not available.
Poor living conditions
The problems in the apartment block go even further: the heating has not worked since the heating season began. Electrically operated radiators were provided as replacements, which does not make the situation any more comfortable for many residents. There are also several pending lawsuits in court, including a request to declare the property uninhabitable due to mold infestation. Another tenant recently received a sudden termination notice, which has since been disputed.
But it's not just the tenant in focus who is struggling with problems. Residents across the block are looking for alternatives, but face the challenge that the notoriety of their address could deter potential new landlords. The city of Göttingen is concerned and appears to be actively looking for solutions, possibly with the help of new investors.
Safety net through political measures
The city's social committee has called on the state government and the city council to take tougher measures to help citizens affected by housing insecurity. While the city government investigates this situation, for many, life in the problematic block of flats remains a constant battle against the odds.
The current situation brings to the fore how important a safe home is for everyone and reminds us that, especially in difficult times, a strong social and political network is necessary to stand by people and offer them the much-needed support.
