Evicting an employee from school accommodation while a labor case is pending

Dear Sir/Madam,

I was wrongfully terminated by my school under Article 44 on March 20th, 2023. I have a case in the labor courts, and the first hearing is on April 4th, 2023.

However, my employer is asking me to vacate the school accommodation. I asked the Ministry of Labor and the courts, and they informed me that the school cannot evict me until the case is resolved.

Is this information correct?

I am currently unemployed and have nowhere else to go until I find another job.

Dear questioner,

Since you are terminated, they can ask you to leave the premises, even if the matter is disputed.

Dear questioner,

According to the query, usually, the employee shall vacate the accommodation within 30 days from the date of termination of his service.

Further, we need to see your contract to know the matter in detail to give you advice.

Kindly contact us via phone.

Thank you!
