With the cantonal border so close, more than one dispute from Rüti concerns an employer or a flat in the canton of St. Gallen, and other bodies are then competent. For divorce, maintenance and matters concerning children, the Bezirksgericht Hinwil is competent if you live in Rüti. On ora. you will find verified lawyers and legal advisers, with the fee on their profile and ora.’s service fee shown separately. Consultations take place at the office or by video.

Tenancy
Tenancy: first, your district’s conciliation board
Disputes over rent, defects or a notice to quit begin in the canton of Zurich before the Paritätische Schlichtungsbehörde in Miet- und Pachtsachen, the joint tenancy conciliation board. Each district has its own, attached to the district court: the Zurich district board for the city, the Winterthur district board for Winterthur. What counts is where the flat or business premises are. The board seeks a settlement; if it fails, the case goes to court.
