In Krasnodar Territory, court to consider tenants' eviction out of Tuapse hostel
The Tuapse City Court will consider the claim on recognizing the hostel located at 25 Zvezdnaya Street to be an apartment house. Earlier, the Tuapse Court had refused to accept the claim to consideration, however, the Krasnodar Territorial Court later cancelled the ruling and obliged their Tuapse colleagues to accept and consider the claim.
"Should the tenants manage to prove in court that the building of the hostel is an apartment house, there eviction will be cancelled," Liudmila Alexandrova, advocate for the tenants, has explained the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
According to the Housing Code, a hostel is a specialized premise equipped with rooms of rest, bathrooms, kitchens and furniture. However, in this case people had settled into a destroyed building having nothing of the kind. It means that the building was not a hostel, Ms Alexandrova asserts.
As of today, judgements have been passed to evict three families, and they can be forced out any moment. Among these potential victims is the Borodkin family with three minor children and Ashot Khanikeryan, who fled 10 years ago from the Georgian-Abkhazian conflict zone.
