Housing associations put less people out of the house – Omrop Friesland

Housing associations last year fewer tenants from their homes put than in 2013. According to a survey of Aedes, the umbrella organization of housing associations. Frisian associations also participated in it. Friesian precise figures are not there, but national figures show that there were 5,900 evictions in 2014 to almost 7,000 in 2013. Fewer evictions does not mean that tenants have less payment problems. That is precisely true. But landlords do everything to prevent evictions. As Elkien in Friesland.

Director Alex Bonnema reports that Elkien soon be speaking with tenants, if they can not pay their rent. Elkien also works with energy companies and health insurers to get the tenant again “financially fit. Elkien has put last year’s 29 tenants from home. In 2013 that figure was 34.

The Tenants, who represents tenants nationwide, is pleased that fewer people are put out of their homes, but is also pessimistic about the future. Due to the increasingly hire more people get into financial difficulties and eventually evictions will be higher again, says Ronald Paping the Woonbond. He wants the politicians and corporations rents less likely let go up.
