Berlin / Schwerin (dpa / mv) - The number of orders for evictions from apartments and business premises fell by almost five percent in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania last year.
This emerges from the answer of the Federal Ministry of Justice to a question from the left-wing member of the Bundestag Caren Lay.
In 2018, 1390 enforcement orders were initiated in the northeast, according to the information, there were 1324 in 2019.
The faction's housing policy spokeswoman called for evictions to be prohibited in principle.
"The cruelty of being thrown out of the apartment becomes life threatening in the Corona winter," said Lay.
Not only is it cold, there is also far too little distance and protection from Covid-19 in collective accommodation.
For the time of the pandemic, the federal government must suspend evictions from apartments, she said.
Municipalities should make it easier for the homeless to use vacant hotels and apartments.
During the first Corona restrictions in spring, tenants could not be terminated if they were unable to pay their rent due to the pandemic.
However, they must make up for the payment by June 2022.
The regulation was valid from April and expired at the end of June.

According to the Ministry of Justice, 49 208 enforcement orders were reported nationwide for 2019.
Not included are Schleswig-Holstein - where there are no figures yet - and Bavaria, where they are no longer collected.
Without the two federal states, there were 52 260 orders in 2018 and 51 849 in 2017.
It is not recorded whether bailiffs actually carried out the eviction orders.
In most federal states, the number of orders fell compared to 2018, in Berlin by around 13 percent, in Bremen by around 11 percent and in Saarland by around 10 percent.
In Saxony, however, there were around four percent more orders than in 2018, in Thuringia it was around nine percent more.
