The end of the winter break. Since this Monday, May 31, 2021 midnight, rental evictions can legally resume. In general from November 1 to March 31 – you know it – it is impossible to evict people from their homes.
The Abbé Pierre Foundation is sounding the alarm
But this year the period has been extended by two months because of the health crisis. However, the health situation – adjustment – is still very complicated. And some associations like the Abbé Pierre Foundation are asking for a new extension. According to the “FAP”: 30,000 households are threatened with eviction this year throughout France.
How many expulsions this year?
How many will there be with us in Côte-d’Or? Response from Nicolas nibourel director of DDETS, the departmental directorate of employment, labor, solidarity and the protection of populations.
36 evictions in 2020
“Due to the postponement of the winter break to 2020 – since the state of emergency ran until July 10 – there were evictions but they occurred in very small numbers”, explains -didactic- the technician. “During this period there was 36 evictions in 2020, a number to be compared to 130 evictions in 2019 “.
Evictions that will start to rise again
But these expulsions will start to rise again predictedNicolas nibourel. “This year we will have more expulsions because all the situations that were not dealt with in 2020 are found ‘in the chain’ and today we can expect a number of expulsions that will resemble the one that we knew in 2019. ”
No dry expulsions
Brice Morey, director general of the SDAT, the Society of Assistance by the Work of Dijon, nuance: “We are never on ‘dry evictions’, the person must always have a solution either in new accommodation or in emergency accommodation.”
Three or four upcoming evictions
“It can also be an opportunity to gain a foothold in a new accommodation whereas today they occupy accommodation not necessarily adapted to their situation. At the SDAT we must have three or four situations for which an eviction should take place. Each year we support more than 1000 people, you see we are not on very important proportions. “
Late payments or neighborhood disturbances
Most of the time those who are evicted are for late payment of very important rents or serious neighborhood disturbances.
