"Čekejte, až zavolám...": Jak se konstituuje instituce nájmu slovy?
"Wait until I call": Constituting the lease institution through talk
The study discusses relations within the institution of private apartment lease. My goal is to explain some basic aspects of the organization of relations as they are constituted through everyday encounters in relation to the apartment lease. The empirical section builds on an ethnomethodologically informed analysis of data obtained through focus groups. Participants discussed the interaction between apartment housing landlords and tenants from the tenants’ perspective. My analysis looks at the "social structures of common sense", which were mobilized and occasionally used by tenants during discussions. Tenants actively focused on ordinary situations in which they had negotiated with landlords about agendas such as maintenance and payments as well as on future perspectives and chances of "people like us". My analysis concentrates on moments in participants’ talk that signal a position asymmetry – an inequality. I propose a typology of strategies to cope with disregard and characterize the different frames within which the institution of private apartment lease is constituted through members’ talk. The paper results from a long-term project that strives to formulate (and empirically test) the possibilities and limits for a qualitative research project on the re/production of social inequalities in lease housing. The area of private lease housing has been marked with a series of conflicts in the past decades.
