Overview
- The draft, lodged in the Senate, establishes an Autorità per l’Esecuzione degli Sfratti under Justice Ministry oversight to issue eviction titles without a judge.
- After two missed payments, tenants have 15 days to pay; if unpaid, the Authority can issue an order within 7 days and have it executed in 30 days, extendable up to 90.
- A national emergency housing fund would provide temporary assistance to households with ISEE below €12,000 when arrears stem from job loss, serious illness or legal separation.
- The Authority must notify local social services in cases involving minors, elderly or disabled residents, who can request short deferrals and help arrange temporary relocation.
- Owners making false or speculative claims face €5,000–€20,000 fines and temporary loss of housing tax benefits, as tenant groups and some politicians oppose the plan and its progress remains uncertain during the budget session.
