In Marseille, an owner discovered a house she was renting in a lamentable state after four years of struggle with her former tenants, who owed her nearly €30,000 in unpaid rent.
Greasy floors, waste strewn on the ground, blackened walls and dilapidated furniture, Juliette, owner of a rental house in Marseille, found her accommodation in “a pitiful state” after four years of fighting against her former tenants.
“They will be prosecuted for what they owe, I will not give up.” According to the owner, the former residents have accumulated €28,000 in unpaid rent, to which are added the bailiff's fees, thanks to which she was able to find the keys to the accommodation, and the lawyer's fees.
8 to 10,000€ of work required
When she returned inside, the owner described the “lamentable” state of the premises. “It was a house that was perfect […] the walls were completely white,” she laments, noting the yellowing. “They are black, there are holes here and there. We wonder what they did.” Yellowed ears, dilapidated chairs, in total the owner estimates that 8 to 10,000€ of work is necessary for the restoration.
“We have to do some work again and we're going to work on it so that it's pleasant and we can sell it. I don't want to have to hear any more about these people who harmed my son's illness. husband.” With the money from the sale, the owner wants to pay for the medical care of her husband, who suffers from Alzheimer's.
In order to avoid further disappointments, the owners decided to have the locks changed and the premises secured. From now on, the owner, who assures that the former tenants are not solvent, is waiting to be reimbursed gradually.
