The local picture
Villeneuve
Villeneuve, at the eastern end of Lake Geneva, is part of the Aigle district and the Est vaudois judicial arrondissement. Civil and criminal cases go to the Tribunal d’arrondissement de l’Est vaudois (district court), employment disputes to the Tribunal de prud’hommes de l’arrondissement de l’Est vaudois (labour court), and criminal investigations to the Ministère public d’arrondissement de l’Est vaudois, based in Vevey. For a tenancy matter, the first step is the prefecture’s conciliation board for the Aigle District.
Between the Riviera and the Chablais, many residents work in Montreux, Vevey or nearby Valais. When a dispute involves two cantons, the competent authority depends on where the property is, where the parties live or where the work is done. On ora., a verified lawyer or legal adviser points you in the right direction, and you book at the office or by video.

Tenancy
Tenancy: the prefecture’s conciliation board first
A dispute with your landlord, whether over rent, a defect or a notice to quit, normally starts before the Commission préfectorale de conciliation en matière de baux à loyer, the tenancy conciliation board. Each district has its own, attached to the prefecture; the one where the property is located has jurisdiction. It tries to bring the parties to an agreement; if that fails, the case can go to court. A lawyer helps you draft the application and meet the deadlines.
