The local picture
Arbon
Arbon lies on Lake Constance and is the capital of the Arbon district, which also includes Amriswil and Romanshorn. The Bezirksgericht Arbon sits here. It hears civil and criminal cases at first instance for the whole district and, like every Thurgau district court, also decides employment disputes. Tenancy disputes begin before the tenancy conciliation board set up by the municipalities; criminal proceedings are conducted by the Staatsanwaltschaft des Kantons Thurgau.
The former industrial town on the lake has become a place where housing, trades and tourism sit side by side. Needs are correspondingly varied: tenancies, employment contracts, family and inheritance matters, contracts for small businesses. On ora. you will find lawyers whose register entry has been checked and legal advisers with a Swiss law degree, at their office or by video. Each practitioner sets their own fee; ora.’s service fee is shown separately.

Tenancy
Tenancy: your municipality’s conciliation board
In Thurgau, tenancy conciliation boards (Schlichtungsbehörde in Mietsachen) are set up by the municipalities. A dispute over rent, defects, a deposit or a notice to quit therefore begins before the board responsible for the place where the flat is. It seeks a settlement between tenant and landlord. If that fails, the case can go to the district court.
