The days of the apartment building on Lenzinger Max-Winter-Straße, built in the 1950s, are numbered. The “Gemeinnützigesiedlungsgesellschaft” (GSG) plans to build a new building on the approximately one-hectare site this year. Dissatisfaction among tenants is growing. Some even oppose the measure.
For 68 tenants of the apartments that were once owned by the municipality of Lenzing and sold to GSG last year, it is time to pack the moving boxes. But not everyone wants to accept that. “I have an existing lease and don’t want to leave. “So far I have not been given any alternatives,” says an angry resident. Mayor Rudolf Vogtenhuber (SP) is criticized.
Local boss criticized
He is accused of selling the apartments to GSG because he is on the supervisory board there and his son should run the real estate agency for GSG. “What nonsense! That’s not true. It is true that I am on the supervisory board. Every mayor of Lenzing has done that so far. The sale of the apartment complex took place following a unanimous decision in the municipal council and on the proposal of the Court of Audit, as building houses is not the core competence of a municipality.”
No more cheap rental properties
The local boss emphasizes that every tenant will be offered a replacement. “There will no longer be a rent of three euros per square meter.”
