The Municipality of Elbasan will provide rent bonuses to families affected in the building that has now been declared uninhabitable as a result of the explosion caused by a gas leak.
Mayor of Elbasan Gledjan Llatja spoke about the steps residents must follow to receive the bonus as quickly as possible.
“Yesterday we approved the rent bonus for the affected families. The building has been declared uninhabitable by the Construction Inspectorate. Payments will begin as soon as the families are provided with a rental contract for the apartment where they will be housed.
For families that need 1+1 apartments, the bonus will range from 150,000 to 250,000 lekë, while for 2+1 apartments, it will range from 250,000 to 350,000 lekë.
As soon as the families complete the documentation and present the contract for the rented apartment, the rent bonus will be paid,” Llatja said in an interview with ABC News.
He also stressed that, although the bonus has been approved for a one-year period, he guaranteed residents that support will continue until they are settled in apartments.
