Residents who voluntarily evacuated after the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station and lived in the official residences of national government officials in the Tokyo metropolitan area filed a complaint with the Tokyo District Court that they were not obliged to give up their rooms.
Residents still live in the dormitory even after the free provision ends, and Fukushima Prefecture has indicated that it will file a complaint seeking surrender.
Ten residents who voluntarily evacuated from Fukushima Prefecture after the nuclear accident and live in the official residences of national government officials in Tokyo and Saitama Prefecture will move in even after the provision of free rooms ends at the end of March 2017. I continue, but I haven't paid the rent.
Residents were asked by the prefecture to pay damages equivalent to twice the rent and to give up the room, and they filed a complaint for damages of 1 million yen per person for suffering mental distress. I woke up to the district court.
In response to this, Fukushima Prefecture announced in the prefectural assembly that it would file a lawsuit for the room to be surrendered this month, so residents insisted that they were not obliged to surrender the room and filed an additional lawsuit on the 29th.
One of the plaintiffs, a man in his 40s, said, "I'm working as a dispatched laborer, so I don't know when I'll run out of work, and I'm worried that I won't have a place to live while my income isn't stable."
Fukushima Prefecture commented, "The complaint has not arrived and we do not understand the contents. We will respond after confirming the facts."
