Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

OBJECT : The purpose of this petition is to reform the Luxembourgish legislation on weapons in order to allow adult citizens with clean criminal records to possess and carry non-lethal means of self-defense, specifically certified pepper spray and alarm weapons (blank and gas firing weapons). This reform proposes to draw inspiration from the proven legal model of the Federal Republic of Germany, notably through the creation of an equivalent to the "restricted firearms certificate" (Kleiner Waffenschein), thereby guaranteeing regulated, controlled, and secure access to personal protection tools in public spaces.

OBJECT : We call on the Government and the Chamber of Deputies to strengthen the legal framework governing the management of condominium properties in Luxembourg in order to ensure greater transparency, responsiveness and oversight for co-owners. The requested reform should, in particular, provide for reasonable and binding deadlines for responding to requests and handling matters by property managers, better monitoring of damage and insurance claims, easier access to condominium documents, greater transparency regarding contracts and service providers, as well as stronger competition between companies providing services on behalf of condominium associations. Co-owners should also have more effective means of monitoring the management of their condominium association, together with appropriate mechanisms in cases of repeated or unjustified failures to fulfil management obligations. The objective is to establish clear rules ensuring more transparent, efficient, traceable and responsible management of condominium properties in Luxembourg.

OBJECT : This petition calls for legislation requiring property developers to appoint and pay for an accredited independent expert to inspect and verify the progress of construction works at each stage of the project. Payment of each instalment by the buyer would only be authorised once the expert has confirmed that the corresponding stage of construction has been completed. This would establish a framework that better protects buyers purchasing off-plan properties (VEFA).
