Overview
- The draft law, authored by Senator Paolo Marcheschi and filed in the Senate, outlines an administrative route that triggers after two missed rents with a 15‑day cure period, a 7‑day window for issuing the executive title, and eviction within 30 days extendable to 90.
- The proposal creates an Autorità per l’esecuzione degli sfratti under the Justice Ministry to issue executive eviction titles based on documents, offering a seven‑day right of appeal for tenants.
- The text includes an emergency housing fund for tenants with ISEE under €12,000 facing temporary hardship due to layoffs, serious illness or legal separation, requires social‑service notifications for vulnerable households, and fines landlords €5,000–€20,000 for false or speculative claims.
- Official data cited in coverage report 81,000 execution requests in 2024, with most linked to arrears, underscoring the scale of eviction and occupation pressures in major cities.
- Confedilizia supports the measure as a way to return homes to the rental market and lower rents, tenant unions and MEP Ilaria Salis oppose it as harmful to precarious households, and the bill remains under scrutiny as the government also works on an emergency housing decree.
