  1. I wonder what made the terminations abusive. You would think that for such a big/high profile project they would have some bullet proof processes.

  2. yeah, in the german language sites it is more clearly written, to kick everyone out at the same time there are more stricht requirments in swiss law to be kicking one out. They could have kicked a few, renovated and then did the next floor or whatever. basic reason for the decision is; the owner did not meet the legal requirements to kick all out at the same time. you think a property owner should be able to do what they want with what they own, fine, we are swiss, start a rerendu. you think swiss renter deserve cheaper apartments, good, start a referendum.

  3. If you read the article this was not a court but the “arbitration authority” (Schlichtunsbehörde). Next it will probably go to a court

  4. When things like that happen, part of the sentence should be the expropriation at market price minus 20%. The building ended in public ownership without future selling possibilities.
