Angry tenants of block 11A

Les moisissures gagnent du terrain…

The tenants of block 11A of the Mas de Ville are not taking off. "The condition of the houses is deteriorating and the roofs are becoming real sieves, they deplore. In this district, three social landlords (SFHE, Erilia and un Toit pour tous), out of the four managers of the subdivision, have undertaken a major renovation over the past year. "A renovation which proved necessary, sigh the residents. A single landlord always turns a deaf ear to the maintenance and repair of homes when the emergency requires it." The lessor ? CDC habitat, whose tenants believe that it "leaves a majority of houses to deteriorate which have received practically no maintenance since their construction in the 1990s. Not even the minimum even though it has the necessary funds for maintenance and management of related problems to the wear and tear of time."

Housing built in the 90s

Despite the intervention of the Mas de Ville neighborhood committee and the city of Nîmes with this lessor , the latter does not, for the moment, remedy the deficiencies denounced by the tenants. To the great dismay of the residents, he recently offered to buy their homes…

And the anger continued to grow during the last period of rain, which led to leaks in the roofs, which meant putting buckets and tubs to catch the water seeping into the roof. through ceilings. Mold gains ground and takes hold for a long time, humidity shows through wooden facades which wait in vain for a few coats of paint, like garage doors and entrance gates. The gutters, which are dilapidated, no longer fulfill their functions, or very poorly… The list of problems linked to these houses is not exhaustive. And these residents of the Mas de Ville appeal to "the City so that it can intervene again to bring this recalcitrant lessor to reason by reminding him of his duty to undertake urgently the work required outside but also inside homes".
