Nice: the mother of a dealer evicted from her HLM housing – teller report

A decision for example. The Nice judicial court authorized, this weekend, the eviction of a mother of a family from her low-cost housing after the conviction of her son for drug trafficking. The 19-year-old defendant was sentenced to 20 months in prison.

This judgment results from an agreement voted by the town hall of Nice in April 2021 with the public prosecutor’s office of Nice and the prefecture of the Alpes-Maritimes: the social landlord is now aware of the tenant’s legal affairs. A procedure can then be initiated. In this case, for the magistrates, the seriousness of the disturbances was sufficiently reported to “characterize the lack of use of the leased premises that any tenant or occupant must respect”, indicates Côte d’Azur Habitat cited by Le Figaro. The tenant will therefore see her lease terminated. She was also fined 500 euros.

“Each tenant is responsible for the people they host, whether they are a friend or a child. I want to offer my tenants a dignified living condition. Our duty is also to ensure public tranquility and social diversity in these territories. . It is a policy which is based on firmness and listening “, reacted to the microphone of LCI Anthony Borré, first deputy mayor of Nice and president of Côte d’Azur Habitat.

“This family was known since 2018 for acts of degradation and occupation of building halls, but also for drug trafficking”, he underlines, specifying that she had never used social services. “I will not give in to those who traffic”, he hammered.

For associations, the pill is difficult to pass. “To try to protect populations, they put parents on the street. What a scandal! We ask Côte d’Azur Habitat to do its job, its duty towards its tenants, and not to play father. Flogger by unworthily expelling “, castigate on LCI Zohra Briand, representative of the association Droit au logement 06.

“It is not for the social landlord to take on the role of [donneur de] sanctions in place of judges. If we start to condemn people for acts committed by their relatives, there is no longer any idea of ​​justice itself. One should be condemned only for his actions “, underlines for his part David Nakache, president of the association Tous Citoyens, on BFMTV.
