Berlin / Wiesbaden (dpa / lhe) - In Hesse, with almost 4,000 applications for enforcement, fewer evictions of apartments and business premises were initiated in 2019 than in previous years.
This emerges from a response from the Federal Ministry of Justice to a request from the Left Bundestag member Caren Lay.
In 2019, 3923 enforcement applications were reported in Hesse.
That is 219 fewer than in 2018, which corresponds to a decrease of around 5.3 percent.
It was not recorded whether bailiffs actually carried out the eviction orders.
The Hessian Tenants' Association fears that there could be a wave of layoffs this year due to the corona pandemic.
According to a spokeswoman, the association does not have any figures.
The Left parliamentary group in the state parliament made a parliamentary question to the state government in September about the effects of the corona crisis on Hessian tenants.
According to a group spokesman, an answer is still pending.

The city of Frankfurt announced on Wednesday that the number of evictions had decreased in 2020 compared to the previous year.
Accordingly, 588 evictions had been announced by November 25, 86 fewer than in the previous year.
331 of these had been carried out by the end of October (2019: 391).
During the time of 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 had to make up for the payment later.
The regulation was in effect from April, but expired at the end of June.
An alliance of the German Trade Union Federation (DGB), the Federation of Consumer Organizations (vzbv) and the German Tenants' Association (DMB) had called for an extension of the termination moratorium.
An eviction can only be enforced if the tenant does not leave the apartment despite effective termination and the landlord obtains an eviction title with an eviction action.
