In Leopoldstadt, a parking lot in front of an empty hotel became controversial: drivers were repeatedly asked to pay for parking there – which the owner saw as trespassing. Now some of the victims are defending themselves legally;
Drivers who went to the parking lot of the hostel near the sports and fun hall in Leopoldstadt and then received the mail had to pay almost 400 euros. The letters threatened legal action for trespassing and a one-time payment. Attorney Thomas Bruce spoke with “Wein Today” about more than 30 cases in February and March — and identified the tenant’s illegal activities, “Kron” reported Monday.
Cameras must be identified
“Fundamentally, disturbance of property is not debatable. People voted, shouldn’t have voted, that’s it. “The problem is the cameras,” Bruce said in an interview with “Vienna Today.” If you take a picture in the parking lot, you have to identify yourself as a tenant, but that’s not happening, according to his criticism. There is,” Bruce said.

In Leopoldstadt, a parking lot in front of an empty hotel became controversial: drivers were repeatedly asked to pay for parking there – which the owner saw as trespassing. Now some of the victims are defending themselves legally;
The tenant’s lawyer sees it quite differently: “Camera surveillance [war] In the present case, this is sufficiently indicated and for this reason alone there is no administrative breach by our client. ST GDPR/DSG. (…) What my colleague Bruce is trying to do here is a simple perpetrator-victim switch,” Oliver Lusjens, the lawyer of the parking lot’s tenant, said in a statement to “Wein Today”.
9,600 euros in reminders per driver
A driver has to pay almost 9,600 euros. “He received three letters first, and then 21 more letters were registered in one day. It was definitely a surprise. Each wanted 399 euros,” says Bruce. The warnings began after raising the ban – a “driver trap” for Mr. Bruce.
The opposite party claims that the ban cannot be folded because of the defect. However, the property was fenced off in response to county disputes. The lease expires in the summer – until then the fence blocks traffic.
