There were significantly more forced evictions in Bavaria last year. This emerges from a statistic published by the Ministry of Justice in response to a question from the left in the Bundestag.
According to this, there was an increase of almost 20 percent in the Free State to 3432 evictions last year. This put Bavaria in second place nationwide, behind North Rhine-Westphalia. The development in the Free State is thus running counter to the downward national trend.
“Every forced eviction is one too many,” said the housing policy expert of the left, Caren Lay of the German Press Agency. In the currently tense housing markets, this often means homelessness. Anyone who has just survived the corona pandemic financially should not be thrown out during the energy crisis.
The politician calls for a “winter package for warm and safe living”. Terminations due to payment difficulties must be excluded and evictions into homelessness prohibited.
