Italy Weighs Fast-Track Evictions as Government Considers New Authority and Decree

Officials are weighing whether to route the Fratelli d’Italia proposal through a decree or a government bill as part of the housing plan.

Overview

  • Senator Paolo Marcheschi’s bill, filed in the Senate, fast-tracks evictions after two consecutive missed rents with a 15‑day cure, an Authority-issued eviction title in 7 days, and execution within 30 days extendable to 90.
  • The draft would create the Autorità per l’esecuzione degli sfratti under the Justice Ministry to handle the execution phase administratively instead of through routine judicial channels.
  • Safeguards in the text include a National Emergency Housing Fund for households under a €12,000 ISEE in specified hardship cases, mandatory alerts to social services within five days, limited deferments, and fines of €5,000–€20,000 for fraudulent owner claims.
  • Government drafting is ongoing, with options reported to remove the pre-notice of release, trigger automatic execution after the 10‑day precetto, and allow disposal of unremoved furniture after 30 days, though the final form is not settled.
  • Stakeholders are split, with Confedilizia backing faster timelines to return homes to the long-term market and Unione Inquilini and figures like Ilaria Salis denouncing the plan as harmful to households in precarious situations.
