How is it legal that an apartment organization or building can charge you more rent but take away services and not reduce rent.
The clowns at my place stopped having a security guard patrol, theft, vandalism and signs of weekend partying are now routine.
They went ahead and raised our rent despite the quality of rental experience being diminished, doesn’t seem fair.
In the picture someone stole furniture and set up a living room in our plaza yes next to a daycare. The debris has been in the yard for more than a week. Which also says they really don’t care about the place. Is there anything that I can do?

Are there some beers still unopened? Asking for a friend.
That looks like Basel and a wincasa or wgn managed property. Am I right?
Yes get in contact with asloca
Is that the location for The Wire: Switzerland?
No one can tell you if it is ok to increase the rent or if they have to decrease rent, only way to know would be to bring it to court. There will not be a law saying removing a security guard means you have to pay less rent.
But yea, its pretty common. In our complex people have started vandalizing walls with graffiti. The organization said “whats the problem, that makes the area more interesting”.
Something like a security guard would be paid through the Nebenkosten and unless you pay those pauschal (which is very uncommon outside of furnished/serviced apartments), the NK will go down if the cost is reduced.
Important is that the cops are after the motorists, that’s where the real money is made.
Is that a stolen parcel?
Familie Zuberbühler, safe!
Here we go. Today’s glossy “urban densification” pitch is tomorrow’s projects. The game is the game.
I’m pretty sure Asloca can help you reduce your rent for all those nuisance and the security guard will be back in no times. Money is king, sadly.
🙄
It depends if they raise the base rent or the ancillary cost (Nevenkosten/Charges). You can always ask for a breakdown of ancillary costs.
Looks like a fun spot to hang out tbh
And I thougt hell is bad…
You’re out of touch with reality if you think a block appartement is supposed to have a security guard.
I find it hilarious to see the furniture like that :]
This is awful…. I’m sorry I hope someone here can help you on what to do.
I’m really glad I left Zürich, the only options were those suburbs or leave completely. There are still affordable and beautiful places in other parts of Switzerland. Can only encourage you to leave..
Security guard in an apartment? What the heck?
And you’re complaining because folks are hanging out in a park near the buildings? Are you an American? From a place where they destroyed and removed all the places people can hang out outside their houses?
You had a security guard? That already tells so much more than you think.
>The debris has been in the yard for more than a week
This also tells a lot. About you. You want a better world? Stop pointing to others and request that some has to do something. You have to be that someone, you have start in your neighborhood. Yes it sucks. But if nobody does, nobody will l. So start to clean it yourself. Be the first which starts something big, a community which cares about the state and affairs of the place where they live, a tight knit neighborhood where people are not anonymous but actually care for each other. Is it Bünzli? Maybe, but it works in Portugal, Chile, Norway, and other places in the world too.

Well, eventually Wincasa will remove the stuff and the cost for that will be passed on to the tenants. Works like that on a regular basis at the Wincasa property where some friends of mine live. Super annoying.
Security guard in Switzerland for a residential apartment ? Now that’s ridiculous.
Unless you guys are an Israeli community ?
Oh no! Two plastic bottles! CALL THE POLICE!
Clean it up. Longer it stays, more trash will join
Throw shit to them in the nights; litteraly
Problems in my building (people in the cellars and stairs etc)
They put security videos and a security compagy comes during the night.
Nothing changed.
There are dealers down the building but the problem don’t come from them.
I am just carful and it’s ok.
Suuuuuper shady building with appartments sold weekly. Shadyy and criminal people living there.
Don’t forget: The extra hours for cleaning will also be billed to the tenants 🙂
Security guards for an appartment building? Are there really areas that rough?
Collective case ; ask lower rent for insecurities
Time to gentrificate those thugs away.
Nice setup for the unboxing of the (maybe) stolen amazon parcel !
Have you called building management/the Verwaltung and informed them about this trash? It should be their responsibility to have it removed as it is their property.
Probably the security guard did that in revenge
