District Court of Paris ordered the owner who was renting out an apartment living area of 1.54 sq.m, to pay tenant a compensation of €11,815, according to ee24.com citing thelocal.fr.
50 -year-old Dominique, whose last name is not known, was living in this "apartment" for 15 years and it cost him €330 a month. Despite the fact that the press found out about this funny and at the same time sad case more than a year ago, the court delivered a judgment only now. And despite the fact that the tenant demanded €25,000, he'll get only €11,815 , including € 1,000 as a compensation for moral injury.
According to the law of 2002, not all property in France fits for living: apartments must have an area of not less than 9 sq.m. Thus, the owners have no right to rent out miniature apartments in Paris. However, this happens.
