Milan’s Cellar Evictions

Evictions can be a devastating experience for people living in apartments. They can leave people struggling to pay their rent stranded in their homes, and unable to afford to move. They can also force a family to give up their belongings, or move to a homeless shelter.

In Milan, it’s not uncommon for families to have trouble paying their rent. And the city’s housing crisis has prompted many landlords to evict tenants who don’t meet the rent requirements.

For Norma and Luis, that meant losing their home, their possessions and their beloved food delivery scooter. The landlord told them to get out, saying they owed $200 in rent and that they could never return.

The Tragic Story of Milan’s Cellar Evictions

Their neighbors tried to help them. But they said the landlord called them crazy and even threatened to lock them out during a hurricane.

But the landlord lied to them. He said it was against New York law to evict residents without a judge’s order in Housing Court first.

If you have an unwanted guest in your apartment, there are a few things you can do to keep them from getting evicted. Start by clearly letting them know you need them to leave, and give them a deadline by which they have to go.

You can also try talking with them in person or by phone and offering to help remove them. This might be a good way to preserve a relationship, but you should always follow up on your offers with written notices and make sure they keep a copy.

Another option is to hire a squatters’ rights group, such as FueraOkupas, to help you deal with the problem. This organization has a reputation for getting rid of squatters in two weeks or less, and some say it’s an effective way to get squatters to pay their rent so they don’t have to live on the streets.

While this may be a solution for some squatters, it can also encourage them to extort money from you. For example, a former bank robber in Catalonia claims he makes thousands of euros a year by demanding ransoms from property owners.

It’s a sad truth that the best way to protect yourself from squatters is to stay out of their way. But if you do find yourself in a situation where someone is threatening to evict you, you have the right to call the police.
