Is a stairlift in an apartment building even possible? Sonilift explains and shows you the easiest way to get your stairlift.
A stairlift in an apartment building - it's that easy!
Basically, it can be said that no one can or may prohibit you from installing a stairlift in an apartment building due to the Equal Opportunities Act. Neither owners nor tenants have to agree to the installation of a stairlift.
For organizational reasons, it is of course advisable to inform the administrator or the community of owners in good time about the impending installation of your new stairlift and to seek a discussion at eye level.
The right under Art. 14 para. 1 GG (property) is not only available to a healthy person, but also to a disabled person. In this respect, reference should also be made to Art. 3 para. 3 sentence 2 GG, according to which no one may be disadvantaged because of their disability.
A reasonable co-owner must therefore be expected to show the necessary tolerance and understanding towards disabled people in particular.
However, it is essential to comply with building regulations so that the escape route for other residents is still guaranteed.
Sonilift Tip:
The escape route should be at least one meter wide. If this is not feasible, it is possible to apply for a deviation. This reduces the minimum width from 100 cm to 80 cm. The clear dimension of the passageway always counts for the dimensioning.
In addition to securing the escape route, it is important that a certain rail height is not exceeded. The chair must be moved out of the flight of stairs when not in use.
In the unlikely event that your stairlift suffers a technical defect during the journey, for example if the motors become blocked, you should make sure that an emergency lowering device is available!
The emergency lowering system takes you safely to the bottom of your staircase despite a defect, so you don't have to get off in the middle of the stairs. This means you can contact qualified help quickly and safely.
