The local picture
Münchenstein
Münchenstein lies on the Birs just south of Basel and belongs to the Arlesheim district. Part of the Dreispitz site is on Münchenstein territory, the rest in the city of Basel. The Zivilkreisgericht Basel-Landschaft West is competent at first instance for civil cases and employment disputes, and the Strafgericht Basel-Landschaft for criminal cases. Tenancy disputes start before the Schlichtungsstelle für Mietangelegenheiten.
On the Dreispitz in particular, the exact address decides whether the Basel-Stadt or Basel-Landschaft authorities are competent. On ora. you compare verified lawyers and legal advisers from both cantons by area of law, language and fee, and book at the law firm or by video. The practitioner sets the fee; ora.’s service fee sits on a separate line.

Tenancy
Tenancy: the conciliation office
A tenancy dispute in Basel-Landschaft starts, in principle, before the Schlichtungsstelle für Mietangelegenheiten (tenancy conciliation office) – over a rent increase, service charges, defects or a notice to quit. It hears both sides and tries to settle the matter. If no agreement is reached, the case can go to the Zivilkreisgericht West or Ost, depending on where the flat is. Deadlines are short: have your request checked early.
