• A young man was sentenced two years ago for drug trafficking to 20 months in prison.

  • The social landlord Côte d'Azur Habitat then asked for his eviction from his accommodation as well as that of his mother.

  • Justice agreed with the social landlord.

The judgment took place last month and vindicated the largest social landlord in the Alpes-Maritimes: this woman must leave her home.

To justify this decision, the justice explains that "the correctional judgment convicting the tenant makes it possible to demonstrate the reality and the seriousness of the nuisances invoked by Côte d'Azur Habitat which are at the origin of significant disturbances for the tranquility of the other tenants. », Through a press release relayed by Côte d'Azur Habitat.

132 other deportation requests in progress

Since October 2020, a reform of the internal regulations of HLM rental contracts has facilitated evictions in the event of criminal convictions of a tenant or a person living under his roof.

Six months later, an agreement between the prosecutor's office and the Alpes-Maritimes prefecture was also signed to inform the social landlord of the tenant's legal cases in order to initiate proceedings.

Thus, the social landlord recalls that this device allows him to "fight effectively against all forms of nuisance" boasting that "justice supports it" and indicates that "132 other eviction requests are in progress".

Questioned at the time of the announcement, Zohra Briand of the association Droit au logement 06 (Dal) stressed: “Political leaders must understand that housing is a family's last resource.

“Anaïs Tarone, lawyer at the Nice bar, had, for her part, wondered: “The very principle of a conviction is to serve your sentence and to redeem yourself with society.

With an expulsion, it is a new sanction, sometimes for all his family.

What will become of these people who are labeled on penal conditions?
