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.
