ATA/504/1995 ΓÇó Confirmation of housing surcharge for social housing apartment
ATA/504/1995Cour de justice / Chambre administrative3 oct. 1995Dismissed
The court confirmed the surcharge applied to the appellants' social housing apartment. It rejected their arguments based on the apartment's alleged narrowness and age, holding that room and dwelling surface must be calculated under Art. 4 RLGL. Using that method, the dwelling was correctly treated as a 3.5-room apartment.
Art. 4 RLGL; housing surcharge in social housing; calculation of room and dwelling surface. The dimensions asserted by the occupants are not decisive where they do not correspond to the calculation method prescribed by Art. 4 RLGL. Complaints relating to alleged narrowness or age of the dwelling do not, by themselves, preclude the surcharge if the legally relevant surface calculation confirms the applicable room count; in casu, the apartment was to be counted as a 3.5-room unit, so the surcharge was upheld.

Résumé
Confirmation de la surtaxe. Les doléances des recourants quant à l'étroitesse ou la vétusté de leur logement ne peuvent être prises en considération. La surface des pièces et celle du logement se calculent selon l'article 4 RLGL et les dimensions indiquées par les recourants pour les diverses pièces de leur appartement ne sont dès lors pas exactes. Il s'agit bien d'un appartement de 3 pièces 1/2.
