Waschung machine broken - landlord response "no fix planned"

Waschung machine broken - landlord response "no fix planned"

Hello, I wrote to a landlord half a year ago (November 2025) that one washing machine was partially broken. A few months ago it broke completely. There are about 25 Apartments in our build and 6 washing machines. One of them is broken, leaving 5 per 25 flats (mostly studio and 2+1). There are times on the weekends when all of them are in use but waiting an hour or two fixes that (no schedule). When I asked the landlord what the estimated time for repair was he said "use the other ones". Is such response normal from swiss landlords/companies? Would that look strange/make you angry or perfectly logical response? Newish building (10-20 years old max), Wallisellen, 1450ch for a studio Apartment including Nebenkosten, had problems with asking for rent reduction (ignoring messages until I contacted Mieterverband). Other things are fixed semi slow (front doors - 2 days. Elevator - 1 week. Trash bin lock - 1 month, leaving it unlocked). Otherwise neighbours are chill. The location is great.

Thank you for your opinion!
