Sochi: Olympic resettlers complain about living conditions in "Neptune" boarding house

In Sochi, about 50 the so-called "Olympic resettlers" and natural disaster victims, living in the boarding house named "Neptune", held a meeting and signed an appeal to the City Public Prosecutor stating their intolerable living conditions.

The Mayoralty asserts that they have no other replacement housing facilities for the victims and offer them to sue the leaseholder of the boarding house, who is obliged under the terms of the lease contract to maintain the facility. In his turn, the leaseholder claims that under the decision of the arbitration, the Mayoralty has an outstanding debt to him for placing people in the boarding house from 2000 to 2009; and the last repair was performed in 2007.

Some of the participants in the meeting told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent that they were settled in the boarding house "temporarily" in 2009; but they live here for five years already. According to their version, the status of the house has always been miserable; and now it is just crumbling before the eyes for lack of due care.

The tenants of the "Neptune" are sure that the funds on their temporary accommodation and payment for utilities are available in the budget; however, nobody knows where these funds go, along with the flats intended for victims of natural disasters.
