Overseas network on October 21, a landlord in Kursan, Orde Province, France, is in trouble, and his tenant has been evicted for a long time due to rent arrears, but still refuses to move. France, on the other hand, will enter a "winter break" in November, after which it will ban the eviction of renters.

Solanchi, a landlord in his 50s in Kursan, rented a 100-square-meter home with a swimming pool to a tenant in his 30s, but the visitor defaulted on rent and the lease expired on February 1, but the tenant refused to move out, according to Le Figaro. The landlord went to court, and the Narbonne court ruled in June that the tenant must leave within a month of the judgment taking effect. However, the tenants remained adamant and appealed on 28 June, citing the fact that no other dwelling had been found, a condition imposed by the French Ministry of Housing to evict squatters or tenants in arrears of rent.

Le Figaro contacted the tenant's defense lawyer, but received no reply. Coursan Mayor Eduard Rochelle said in an interview that the city government recommended a four-bedroom social housing to the tenant, but was rejected by the tenant "because he thought the living room was too small." "However, the municipality can no longer provide other housing because social housing is very tight. Edward Rochelle explains, "There are about 100 people waiting per social housing unit, and for me it is problematic to prioritize a person who defaults on rent. ”

This situation is very distressing for landlords, because this year's "winter break" ban on evictions will take effect from November 1, and for five months after that, landlords will not be able to evict tenants. Soranci is anxiously awaiting the mandatory eviction of the tenant by the local authority to authorize the police, and the forced eviction order issued by the judicial officer expired on October 3. "A week ago I was confident, but in the face of government delays, now I think I'll have to wait another five months," Soranc said. The local government responded that there were dozens of such judicial proceedings on hand.

Soranci added that in order to ensure that her house could be recovered, the judicial magistrate also advised her to pay the tenant for moving and furniture, which she was very reluctant to do. This situation has reignited controversy over french expulsion proceedings. In France, it often takes two to three years for landlords to evict tenants or reclaim illegally occupied non-primary homes. (Overseas Network - Paris - Lujia)
