Rights in Anti-Squatting Housing: Ask for Free Advice

Questioner

I am in the following situation: I live anti-squat with several people in a building without residential destination based on a loan agreement. My agreement states that I have a 28-day notice period. Now I get a call today from my vacancy manager that the building has to be delivered tomorrow. The municipality wants to use the building immediately to accommodate asylum seekers. My fellow residents have made agreements with the vacancy manager to realize this (there will be a removal service, they have a new place to live and they will receive compensation). This has also been offered to me, but I want to know what my rights are. Can they just evict me from my home? Can the municipality requisition a property? What is a realistic compensation, they clearly have an interest in using the property again tomorrow. Are there other possibilities through which they can evict me from the property immediately? I'd love to hear from you.

Whether you enjoy rent protection depends on the agreements in the agreement that has been entered into. In one form, you enjoy rent protection and you cannot simply be put on the street, while in the other form, this is possible. To assess this, I would have to see the agreement. But I fear the worst and you do not enjoy rent protection and you have to leave the living space immediately. As for the amount of a real relocation allowance for a social housing unit, the current minimum relocation allowance has been increased to 5,857 euros as of 1 March 2015. Tenants receive this allowance if they have to move due to demolition or major renovation. But in your case, I think you should take everything you can get.
