<BR>The Petersburg Committee of Government Property (KUGI) is demanding that Balsen-Petrohleb vacate the premises in which they are presently located: 142 Nevsky Prospect. A restaurant, cafe and bakery are all located in the 806.8 sq. Meter uninhabitable space. In April, 1996 KUGI notified the Balsen management that starting July 15, 1996 the rental agreement would be considered expired and the company would be obliged to vacate the premises. Balsen-Petrohleb, according to KUGI, ignored the warning. The eviction case passed through trial court an ended in favor of Balsen. The appeal will be heard on August 26. The vice-head of the KUGI legal division, Natalya Balanovskaya, commented that during the creation of the joint venture Balsen-Petrohleb, the Smolney district rendered the right for use of the space at 142 Nevsky Prospect as a contribution to the start-up capital. Aside from the fact that the Smolney administration didn't have the right to sign a rental agreement, the size of the earnings turned out to be very small. The city received only 37 shares of Balsen-Petrohleb which totals 8.04% of the association's capital. "The size of the earnings was determined from the active rental agreement at that moment which totaled 367,190 rubles. This meant that in the period of a year Balsen was freed from rental payments in as much as the rent for this period was considered a part of the start-up capital. According to the outflow of that time, the business was obligated to pay rent (after the rent-free year ended) that was no more than the average rental payments in the city. However, up to this time Balsen-Petrhleb remains on Nevsky free-of-charge", said Balanovskaya. "For the acquisition of the space KUGI got stocks which received and still receive dividends that are proportional to the cost of the space. Namely for the establishment of costs for the space, the founders used rental agreements (in 1991) which go by the method of valuing cost by a square meter of an uninhabited building", said Jorg Mueller, the general director of Balsen. According to the landlords, a contracted rental agreement between the stockholders never emerged. A rental cost was never set and never paid. At KUGI they say that in the interests of the city it is necessary to come to some kind of agreement. If they are not successful in evicting Balsen-Petrohleb, then they will have to review the piece of the city that lies in this business or transfer to a normal rental agreement. According to Delovoj Peterburg, the maximum cost for rent on Stary-Nevsky Prospect can total up to $700 per square meter per year.<BR>
