Desperation for tenants

“It’s hard to help when someone doesn’t want to”

The story of the tenant who has apparently lost control of his life and is keeping an entire apartment building in Innsbruck on tenterhooks continues to generate discussion. What to do? "It's all difficult," says a social expert in an interview with the "Krone" newspaper.

For months, a tenant in a Neue Heimat Tirol (NHT) residential complex in Innsbruck has been driving the neighbors to despair. Nightly alcohol excesses, screaming orgies and catastrophic hygienic conditions. The emergency services and police regularly have to be called out. According to one neighbor, there has even been a Cobra operation. But what can be done about it? How can the person affected possibly be helped?
