The residence is brand new, but since their arrival last year, the first tenants have lost count of the problems that have been accumulating. “Every day we have surprises, we wake up in the morning and our feet are in the water.

The elevator has been broken for 10 days and for the third time a resident testifies: “It’s becoming an ordeal for me and my children. I live on the fourth floor and since the elevator broke down, I can no longer do my shopping,” she explains.
Exhausted, the tenants compiled a file detailing around ten defects that ended up making life impossible. Like this resident of the building who lives above the garage and is disturbed every night by the noise of the gate which prevents her from sleeping.
For his part, the lessor recognizes around ten dysfunctions. “In fact, I think it's perhaps the accumulation, and then perhaps the confusion between things which may be a little longer or more structural, notably the question of parking with things which are much more punctual and on which we do diligence” explain the lessor, Hervé Minjon deputy general manager of Logirep.
