A tenant can receive a lodging for a person with reduced mobility however, if the agency needs it for a new tenant in need and that another equivalent lodging exists elsewhere, the agency can demand the change. The administrative fees in such a case are charged to the Cooperative.
The rooms and studios are conceived and rented out for a single person. Violation of this rule is a reason for terminating the rental lease.
At the start as well as at the end of the rental period the caretaker establishes an entry and an exit inspection of the lodging and of the corresponding common areas. For this purpose, the rooms have to be clean and tidy. The cost of cleaning and of any repairs are charged to the departing tenant.
