PERUGIA – Relationships that sour, an agreement based on a pact that is not completely out in the open, cross complaints: this is how a rented apartment becomes a judicial war.
THE RECONSTRUCTION
It happens in Ponte San Giovanni. It happens that a 38-year-old of Albanian origins, a car dealer, decides to rent a portion of an apartment on the ground floor, owned by a man from Perugia who lives on the upper floor. A rental, according to what was reconstructed yesterday during the interrogation following the complaint presented in recent days, not exactly in the light of day.
The young entrepreneur, assisted by the lawyer Gianni Dionigi, explained to the investigators how the rent had been officially stipulated for only a portion of the apartment, i.e. for a single room at 150 euros per month. A figure that could be considered fair but in reality things would have been decidedly different: the man in fact explained how he had the availability not only of a room but in fact of the entire apartment and certainly not due to the generosity of the owners of the house, but rather for a parallel agreement not included in the officially signed documents which provided for a black payment.
To be precise, 250 euros which, in this imperfect mix of money in plain sight and others for nothing, make the sum of four hundred euros per month to effectively have the availability of the entire apartment.
A game between the parties that was evidently anything but legitimate, at least for one party, went on for several months until the relationship between the landlord and the tenant broke down due to personal issues and all the problems came to the surface.
To the point, as mentioned, that in recent days the thirty-year-old Albanian was reported for arbitrary exercise of his rights as he was accused by the owner of the house (assisted by the lawyer Barocci) of having changed the locks of the house to prevent his entry into the house . “Following disputes over the respective entitlements to the rooms to be lived in – it is written in the indictment – without prior authorization and without providing a copy, he violently changed the lock on the entrance door of the apartment, preventing access” to the same owner who, we read again in the indictment “he had retained, by contract, the availability of some spaces located in the partially rented apartment”.
Faced with these complaints, the tenant responded first of all by talking about the not exactly legal way of paying the rent and announcing a complaint to the financial police, but also claiming that the locks had been changed not so much to prevent the landlord’s entry at home as well as for strictly personal reasons.
A particularly controversial situation to which is added, according to the story given by the Albanian to the judicial police, also a discovery that he has made in recent times and that is the fact that the owners of the house have taken steps to install, evidently without his knowledge, some cameras inside the apartment he occupied in the manner he described, committing what (if proven by any subsequent investigations) could be considered to all intents and purposes another criminal offence.
