Veliaj: In Tirana we have 2,500 flats free for rent, no room for speculation

Speaking at the Municipal Council meeting, where the second list of families benefiting full rent bonuss was approved for a year was approved, Veliaj stressed that about 2,500 rented residences in Tirana are available to meet the needs of the 1,000 families affected. Therefore, Veliaj stressed, there is no reason for speculants to benefit right now.

We have begun accommodation in Tirana. Meanwhile, it turns out that another part of other municipalities that will apply the lease process will also come renting to Tirana from these areas. According to a survey we have made today, there are about 2,500 apartments in Tirana that are ready for 1,000 families we have. So the ratio is 1 to 2.5. That means that if you don't find suitable rent in someone, there's no need to fish the first speculator we meet. There's enough on the market today to satisfy this need, and as I said, with the rent we spend today at 92.2 of 1,000 rents, so 922 out of 1,000 rents that we've approved”, Veliaj said, while underlining the following days the rest will be approved.

This 8% results from either unit 2, the last dorms we've probably caught today, and we're adopting them on Monday or at some point next week, or they're citizens who've been outside, so the palace is out of place, but they've decided to come out and maybe stay out until the school starts, or they're out of town, at all. So, we're not 100 percent away from accommodateing citizens”, Veliaj stressed. /T Ch/
