Documented Concerns Regarding Tenant…
Documented Concerns Regarding Tenant Rights, Charges and Contract Handling
I am sharing this experience based entirely on documented communication, including emails, WhatsApp messages and payment records.
During my daughter’s tenancy in a City Pop apartment in Milan, the following issues occurred:
• Two unauthorized entries into the apartment took place without prior notice or consent while my daughter was inside. In one instance she was in the shower, and in another she was asleep. These incidents raise serious concerns regarding the tenant’s right to peaceful enjoyment of the property.
• A €200 charge was applied directly to my credit card without explicit authorization and without any invoice or supporting documentation.
• The rental agreement was unilaterally shortened to April 16 without reasonable justification, despite prior written confirmation that my daughter could remain until the end of the contract.
• We received contradictory written communication from Ms. Francesca Tarantino. On one day she confirmed in writing that my daughter could remain until 01 October 2026, and the following day she informed us that she must leave by April 16. Both communications are documented.
• Allegations of misconduct, including smoking, were raised by management; however, these allegations were not substantiated during the inspection of the apartment.
• Misleading information regarding natural sunlight: prior to renting, we confirmed several times — including multiple written WhatsApp confirmations — that the apartment receives natural sunlight. In reality, the apartment does not receive sunlight. The rental decision was made based on this repeatedly confirmed information.
• A damage claim exceeding €2,000 was later presented based on what appears to be minor marks and normal residential wear, which seems disproportionate.
• During the communication process, we experienced behaviour that we perceived as hostile and potentially discriminatory based on nationality.
• Although the rental agreement was accepted through the City Pop system, a copy of the contract was never provided, despite several written requests. This prevented us from verifying the contractual basis for the charges and penalties applied.
We have initiated formal consumer procedures and contacted the company’s management in order to resolve the matter professionally.
Given the seriousness of these issues, we respectfully request the attention of the relevant consumer protection authorities in Italy to review this matter and help ensure a fair and transparent resolution.
All supporting documentation is available.
