Icelandic Trigirl Dec 2016 5:36pm, 21 Dec 2016 2,965 posts	0 Icelandic Trigirl My year in Italy is uneventful. The Caribinieri had no reason to come chapping at 0730 this morning, asking for our ID. Our landlady is a nice, retired old lady and not the ringleader of an organised jewellery scam lasting over decades and we are not the innocent tenants of one of the proceeds of crime. [On the bright side, both criminal and civil processes are so slow in Italy that there is little risk of us getting evicted before we head back to Iceland anyway. I suspect we will struggle to get our 1800 Euro deposit back though.] I'm not tempted to weep, thinking of the bike I could have bought with 1800 Euros. [Not that I would have bought a bike with it. But still. The potential!]

I let somewhere through a letting agent, who didn't bother to forward the rent to the landlord, and the bank repossessed the place and kicked me out, lost deposit and all. Renting sucks sometimes.]

But I am pretty confident they cannot evict us within the 6 months we have left. We might not pay the last 2 months rent in lieu of the deposit but we need to get advice first. Fortunately, brother in law is a lawyer here in Italy. My Arctic law expertise is not all that useful down here.]
