As a basic criterion for selecting beneficiaries in the new “SAVING”, the combined criterion of preference for the renovation of old rental houses and apartments belonging to financially weak landlords and which constitute the main residence financially vulnerable tenant families, and who are currently the beneficiaries of the heating allowance.

This is what POMIDA requested in a letter from the Minister of Internal Affairs, Mr. Kostas Skrekas, because only in this way the phenomenon of “Energy poverty” will be effectively tackled, adding that the cost of fully subsidizing their thermal insulation and modernizing their heating systems will soon be balanced for the State by the fact that after that their residents will not need a heating subsidy.

The problem of the existence of small differences in the areas of transferred horizontal properties, unknown most of the time to their owners, in relation to neighboring apartments, requests that POMIDA be resolved, through the recognition of the possibility of unilateral modification of the ceiling of apartment buildings, in order to keep up with the real situations that have been formed for decades, with a memorandum to the political leadership of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in which it states the following:

POMIDA requested the publication of the May 2021 KAD and the advance payment of owners’ compensations for the rent reductions for the months of April and May 2021 in a letter to the financial staff of the government and the AADE, recalling the existing outstanding issues in this matter.

At the same time, it requested an extension of the deadline for declaring the termination of inactive leases and reiterated its request to the negative responses of AADE, when the lessee is not entitled to a reduction, contain the self-evident reminder that he must pay the entire rent, since, in addition to avoiding legal disputes, the management’s refusal to do so leaves the owners helpless to the arbitrariness of their tenants, while the writing of this reminder will also significantly help public revenues.

POMIDA sent a letter to the leadership of the Ministry of Finance and the Governor of AADE to highlight the outstanding issues and to resolve substantive and procedural issues related to the reduction of rents and the compensation of landlords . The letter requests that all outstanding landlord corrections, payments, and compensation offsets be completed, that the AADE platform be opened for all necessary corrections and initial declarations of COVID leases and lease solutions, and that owners of sublet properties be compensated.
