A Viennese tenant sees a need for renovation after repair of the e-cables. For Wiener Wohnen, however, the damage remains limited.
Lukas K. was stunned when he returned to his municipal apartment after rehabilitation. Because the necessary electrical work has left huge traces. “We kept working here despite the losses,” says his brother Thomas K. irritably.
Wooden lid broken out with pliers
The wooden ceiling was literally broken out with pliers. “Why don’t you drill a hole with a pot drill?” he asks. Lamps have not been reinstalled, not plastered thoroughly around the light switches.
In addition, Lukas K. has a serious lung disease, which makes manual work almost impossible. Thomas K. sent photos of the damage to Wiener Wohnen, where he was informed that they were acceptable to the foreman and that she was responsible for the repair.
restore the original state
FPÖ housing ombudsman Michael Niegl contradicts this: “According to the tenancy law, the landlord is obliged to restore the original state after work.” Criticism also comes from FPÖ boss Dominik Nepp: “Municipal councilor Kathrin Gaálmuss must prevent such anti-social behavior.”
duty of the tenant
According to Wiener Wohnen, wooden ceilings are no longer allowed and there is no permit. Still, the company offered to forward the holes to their insurance company. “We also have no objections to the plastering work. The company is responsible for coarse plaster, not for fine filler,” emphasizes a spokeswoman. The lamps are also the property of the tenant and must therefore be installed by him
