House rule
The house rules are a collection of private law regulations that can be issued for the use of any building . House rules must not contain any provisions that contradict generally applicable laws .
In Germany there is no requirement to mark the house rules in a building that is accessible to visitors. The Condominium Act (WEG) is a special feature, here the establishment of house rules in accordance with Section 21 Paragraph 5 WEG is part of proper administration.
In Switzerland's tenancy law , house rules are implicitly based on the general clauses of Article 257 f) of the Code of Obligations .
The violation of the house rules is usually punished in lighter cases by a warning , in serious cases by a notice of termination or a house ban (see also violation of the house rules of a legislative body ).
House rules apply, for example, in
- Apartment buildings and apartment blocks
- Department stores and supermarkets
- Office buildings and factories
- Cinemas and restaurants
- Schools and kindergartens
- Swimming pools and sports halls
- Churches and other sacred buildings
- Railway stations and airport reception buildings .
Regulations for access and use of public facilities are usually regulated in addition to house regulations or in their place in usage regulations. These are to be made public , at least to be displayed or made available for inspection. Examples of this - besides those already mentioned above - are
- Universities and libraries
- Official buildings , service buildings , courts
- Theaters , museums , concert and opera houses .
House rules of apartment buildings often contain regulations which oblige the residents to regularly clean the stairwell and other shared areas. With "house rules make" is in some places referred to the fulfillment of these obligations. Possibly. A distinction is made between the small house rules (cleaning the stairwell) and the large house rules (street cleaning). This procedure was perfected in the Swabian Kehrwoche . Elsewhere, the small house rules are just sweeping, while the big house rules include mopping and window cleaning.
The increasing use of paid caretakers and cleaning services is increasingly relieving apartment users from cleaning duties, but increasing the operating costs they have to pay.
