Parliamo delle nostre esperienze – Noleggio

Sharing names would be a good start to warn others…

Fully expect this to get downvoted to hell but here it goes: 

I think that that the current rental law strikes a good compromise that is, overall, favourable to the tenant (limited situations in which one can get kicked out, limits to rent increases, deposit returns and inexpensive means to sue in court). 

So, unless you rent with a slumlord type of landlord who rents questionable properties under questionable circumstances (e.g. “you live there, but register somewhere else”), you are (and will be) fine if you understand how to protect your rights. 

For instance, if you want your deposit back at the end of the lease, then it’s in your interest to make sure that every issue/problem/etc. is on the etat des lieux at the beginning. I’ve managed to get my deposits back every time because I was thoroughly inspecting the place when moving in. If a damage is not on the etat des lieux at the beginning, but it is at the end, then tenant’s is responsible for said damage. 

Another issue, highlighted by the author of the opinion piece, is read what you sign, have it clarified, changed, etc. if needed.  You certainly don’t move here the day on which you’ll see the agreement for the first time. 

The author of the opinion piece also doesn’t say if or how they challenged his landlords’ actions but I assume that the author simply didn’t. If a tenant doesn’t fight back by actually suing, then it doesn’t matter how protective the law is of tenants.

Shout out to my landlord who hasnt raised rent in 6 years, and let me have a cat. 🖖
