Private property is a right. And until proven otherwise, it is untouchable. But in Italy, with the pandemic, something has changed. Blocking evictions wanted by the government and proposed until December 31st It essentially defaulted millions of landlords dealing with non-rent paying tenants. On several occasions the trade associations, led by Confedilizia, have asked the government to intervene. But nothing to do: the Giallorossi walk away, leaving homeowners alone who have to deal with non-paying tenants who, in some cases, are destroying properties. Us of ilGiornale.it We try to give a voice to those who have been fighting this battle for months by paying taxes, IMU, legal fees, and sometimes condo fees. A war witnessed by the hundreds of emails that reached the newsroom in which many Italians told their story.
Homeowners with no money (and with a mortgage to pay)
We cite, for the moment, only a few to be read by Palazzo Chigi in the hope that the government can quickly intervene and provide at least a refreshment for those who, for example, have to pay a mutual for the second home and does not charge the rent as in the case of Simona: “I had to continue paying the mortgage because I tried to ask my bank to suspend the installments but they denied me because the property was a second home. The Covid emergency has also created big problems for me that I have been in layoffs since March and that, most likely, will be fired because I work in the tourism sector and the economic losses of the company are still very abundant today. The tenants have resumed their work but not even the shadow of the rents paid. Tenants are now protected from the eviction block until December, but who protects us landlords? The state has completely abandoned us. I want my home back! ”Explains our reader.
“I didn’t pay to protest”
And what about the story of Fulvio who protests refusing to pay the Imu: “I confess that I did not pay the Imu in June and that I have no intention of paying it until I have returned possession of what was certainly not given to me. Despite the ‘Tax Office of the Municipality, to my previous communication that due to illegal occupation of my property I would not have paid the Imu, I have’ threatened ‘with future legal recoveries since, according to said Tax Office, the property is legally available for the tenant by decision of the government ”, he writes.
The problem of Roma and foreigners
Then there are those who have to deal with gypsies and foreigners who, mounted in the eviction block of Conte, have no intention of paying the monthly salary, leaving the owners empty pockets. Bruno’s case is emblematic: “I rented my apartment to a family of gypsy origin and I let them imagine the worst of what can be done starting from disrespecting the neighbors, ending with the lack of respect for the property delivered in custody and taking advantage of the unconstitutional laws that defend those who do not respect the rules I find myself having to accept the non-payment of rent since February and with the legal fees to try to dismiss them in addition to the damage they are causing since they live in total helplessness. What can I do to you how to protect myself who to turn to so that property rights are the point of arrival again after a life of sacrifice. ”Then there is Riccardo’s anger that he failed to get the Sri Lankan tenant who has not paid since 2018 to leave the house. The eviction execution should have taken place on January 10, 2020, but due to delays from the court service office I found extensions for C ovid, so if all goes well I will have lost 3 years of rent, I will have paid 3 years of condo expenses, I will have paid the legal fees and I will recover the destroyed apartment. Is this justice? Is it possible to pass on the social costs for the extended evictions to the owner?
The (infinite) expenses to be incurred
And then there are those that have all the expenses they had to incur as in Dona’s case: “The formal notification process has begun, the eviction cause discussed after 1 year in July 2020, with executive eviction which I can only affirm in 2021. Meanwhile, payment of dry coupon on uncollected rents, Imu., Condo expenses (water, heating, ……….). Meanwhile, the tenant has fun saying no one can let him out before another year. ” Now we ask Conte to read these emails and give an immediate response to those who are left with empty pockets at such a difficult time after having made so many sacrifices to buy a house to rent. We will continue to keep clear to each other. Private property is not touched.
