183 residents without hot water: "A complete disaster"

No hot water and no heat in the apartment. This is the new daily life for 183 residents in a housing association in Rosengård, Malmö, since invoices from the energy company Eon have remained unpaid. The affected individuals are between the ages of two months and 85 years, reports Hem&Hyra.

In the part of the property Chinese Wall that belongs to the housing association, 72 children under 18 years old live. Heat and hot water were turned off on October 2.

I don't know what's going to happen, nobody knows. This is a complete disaster, says Anna Szwajda to the newspaper.

Like several others Hem&Hyra talks to, she rents her apartment from the association. She takes her daughter home to her mother in Svedala when she needs to shower. If she wants to wash at home, she has to heat water on the stove.

The association has 600,000 kronor in unpaid invoices to Eon. The bailiff has previously taken the association to court to determine who owns the different apartments in the house. The environmental administration is also pressing the association to improve the living environment.

Forced administration is not an option in this case since it involves a housing association, not a landlord, says Gunnar Blomé at Malmö's environmental administration.

In 85 Swedish municipalities, there are problems with unscrupulous landlords, a survey by Hem&Hyra and SVT News shows, conducted this autumn.
