Proposal proposal for removal from voluntary evacuation of civil servant dormitories passed Fukushima October 3, 18:48

The Fukushima Prefectural Assembly voted on March 3 to prosecute people who voluntarily evacuated and moved into the national civil service dormitory due to the nuclear accident, and who had not moved out by the deadline and did not pay rental fees. The prefecture will start a court requesting you to pay the rent paid by the prefecture after the free occupancy period ends.

The September regular meeting of the Fukushima Prefectural Assembly, which had been held since the 9th of last month, was the final day of the 3rd, and the bill was voted.

Among these, a number of proposals were passed to approve households who voluntarily evacuated to the national civil service dormitory in Shinonome, Koto-ku, Tokyo from outside the evacuation instruction area of ​​the nuclear accident, and have not moved away by the deadline. .

As a result, the prefecture will ask 5 households to move out and a court will be required to pay the rent paid by the prefecture after the free occupancy period ends.

The story so far

In the accident at TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi NPS, the disaster relief law was applied to those who voluntarily evacuated from areas where evacuation instructions were not issued, and housing was provided.

These so-called voluntary evacuees are said to have exceeded 30,000 temporarily.

Public housing and private housing were provided in various places, and among these, approximately 360 households moved into the national civil service dormitory in Shinonome, Koto-ku, Tokyo.

According to the law, the tenancy period is basically two years, but Fukushima Prefecture extended it for four years until March 2017, considering the prolonged effects of the nuclear accident.

In addition, as a measure to support the securing of the next home, the rent of the same amount as the national civil servants was allowed to live on the deadline in March.

However, more than 60 households did not leave by the deadline, and the prefecture decided to file a lawsuit for removal and payment of 5 households that did not enter into a rental contract and had never paid rent.

The Ministry of Finance was working to set a deadline

Three years ago, when Fukushima Prefecture was reluctant to set a deadline for the removal of national civil service lodgings for voluntary evacuees, the Ministry of Finance, which rented the lodgings, set a deadline. I understood that I was working on NHK's request for information disclosure in Fukushima Prefecture.

According to the disclosed minutes, in the meeting between the prefecture and the Ministry of Finance held in August 2016, before the end of the free provision, a state where the next occupant was not found, They were discussing transitional measures to allow them to move in at the same rent as a civil servant.

At that time, the prefecture stated that it was “difficult to set a deadline” for the deadline for moving out, whereas the Ministry of Finance was working on “it is easier to convince to set a deadline”.

On the other hand, the prefecture accepted as “There is indeed an effective aspect” and explained that the next meeting would be a transitional period of two years, with March as the deadline. The Ministry of Finance told NHK's interview that “If extension is necessary, it was proposed to discuss again. The setting of the deadline was finally decided by the prefecture”.
