With his parents, Clément has renovated since April 2021 a building on rue de l'Horloge in Castelnaudary in which there are six apartments. One of them has been occupied since last March by a couple according to information from La Dépêche. Only, the couple of tenants have not paid any rent since their arrival.

A meeting that degenerated

When Clément met them in June, the tenant “hit him, then pinned me to the ground and strangled me,” testified the landlord. He then filed a complaint for “physical violence, insults and repeated threats including a death threat”, according to our colleagues, but also for forgery and use of forgery, the documents provided for the rental contract, such as employment contracts or pay slips being fictitious.

According to our colleagues, on December 5 an eviction had been decided, however it will have to be carried out at the end of the winter break, that is to say on March 31. The winter break prevents the eviction of tenants. The payment of an occupancy allowance corresponding to the rent was also ordered.
