Berlin / Hamburg (dpa / lno) - The number of orders for evictions from apartments and business premises fell slightly in Hamburg in 2019 compared to previous years.
While 2301 enforcement orders were issued in 2018, the number was 2089 a year later. The number was also slightly higher in the years 2015 to 2017.
This emerges from the answer of the Federal Ministry of Justice to a question from the left-wing member of the Bundestag Caren Lay.
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 came into force in 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.
In 2018 there were 52,260 orders without the two federal states and in the previous year 51,849 orders.
It is not recorded whether bailiffs actually carried out the eviction orders.
In most federal states, the number of orders decreased compared to 2018.
