Renter Rights

Renters have a lot of rights in Italy, at least if they have residency status. The irony is that landlords are not legally permitted to ask if a renter has this status. Therefore it is generally assumed that if you are foreign you don’t have residency, creating a marked preference of western foreigners by landlords.

Stability is important in Italy, so Italian law makes it difficult for you to lose your job or lose your home. Evictions can become long and drawn out, even if the tenant is not paying his or her rent. A case must first go to court, which involves an additional waiting period.
