The protests are silent – now Sugus is dying

You can see from afar which three Sugus houses belong to Regina Bachmann and which six of her siblings. It lives in the Sugus houses in Neugasse 87 to 97. The bicycle racks source of bicycles. Lamps, flags, wind chips, plants hang from the balconies. A lamp burns there when you hear a steam exhaust, music, conversations. People go in and out. Even at the quiet lunchtime during the week.

The fighting spirit in the neighborhood had moved out with the tenants. « Even a neighbor who was always the loudest, one who organized demonstrations and called the megafon, moves off, » says Ruedi and shrugs her shoulders. Of course he feels back there. But he couldn’t take it bad.

She told him how her father once worked on the construction site of the Sugus houses. Her sister and parents lived in the other blocks, who do not do any termination. Now there has been the opportunity for them to move to an apartment in the other Sugus houses. «Of course she grabs this opportunity. Just like everyone does when one is upset. »

Arbitration decides for the first time in June

There are already three apartments empty on his floor alone. Of six other neighbors, Ruedi knows that they will take off soon.

It has not yet been clarified whether Regina Bachmann’s mass emptying announcement is legal. Numerous tenants contested their termination. It was only this month that the arbitration authority negotiates the first cases that will be trend -setting.

According to the “Limmattaler Zeitung”, the arbitration authority will first try to reach an agreement between the parties. If this does not succeed, a court decides. However, owner Bachmann could continue the judgment via several instances. This means that the uncertainty in which the tenants are located will soon find no end. Anyone who doesn’t endure is looking for a new apartment. And pulls off.
