Social affairs - Number of evictions in Saxony-Anhalt on the decline
The number of evictions in Saxony-Anhalt has fallen slightly. Last year, 1141 apartments were evicted across the state, according to an answer from the federal government to a question from the Left Party in the Bundestag, which is available to the German Press Agency. A year earlier, there were 30 more evictions. The number of evictions nationwide also fell from around 29,000 in 2021 to 27,300 last year. The most common reason for losing a home is rent debt.
Caren Lay, the Left Party's expert on rent and housing, called for evictions to be canceled in the event of back rent payments and for "evictions into homelessness" to be banned. "If the federal government does not act, even more people will lose their apartments and homes, because rents are being raised to extreme levels," said Lay. "Every eviction is one too many."
The number of evictions is particularly high in North Rhine-Westphalia (8690), Bavaria (2579), Lower Saxony (2288) and Saxony (2265).
