A couple of Romanians who illegally occupied the home of a 95 -year -old woman from the French city Poitiers generated a huge water bill, worth over 17,000 euros, according to Libertatea.ro. The owner, left with the debt on her behalf, had to pay it in full.
The incident began in October 2023, when the mayor of the city sent him a letter informing her that two Romanians had entered his house. The woman intended to renovate the building and rent it, which is why she addressed the prefect, requesting the evacuation of those who occupied him without law.
However, his approach was not successful, as the prefecture refused to confirm the abusive character of the employment. However, one of the intruders acknowledged, in front of a judicial executor that he forced the garage door.
The house destroyed and an invoice of 17,000 euros: This is how two Romanians left the house of a retirement
The Romanians left the house in February 2024, leaving behind a damaged house. “The sinks were snatched and the water was flowing,” said Georges Hémery, the pension lawyer.
During the months in which they stayed there, the water consumption amounted to about 1,100 euros per month, reaching a total of 17,364.16 eurosamount that has been put in charge of the owner.
The case reminds of another extreme situation in France, in which a man, unable to evacuate a family of Romanians, destroyed his home alone to leave.
