Court Rejects Tenant's Application in Göttingen High-Rise - Göttingen High-Rise Residents Trapped in Unlivable Apartments Amid Legal Battles
Living conditions in a high-rise near Göttingen Central Station have reached a critical point. The building at Groner Landstraße 9, housing over 400 units, faces severe issues such as faulty heating, structural defects, and vermin. City authorities conduct regular inspections due to the dire state of the complex.
The property management has blamed unpaid rent for the lack of repair funds. However, this claim is partially disputed by the city and tenants' lawyers. One tenant, a mother of four, sought to have her fifth-floor apartment declared uninhabitable. Despite the apartment being infested with vermin and affected by mould, the court ruled that it meets the most basic needs for the next few weeks. The tenant was advised to address the problems herself.
