Woman, 94, may lose her home after rent rise

Franca has lived in her Florence home for over 60 years. Her family cannot afford the new rent.

Franca is 94 and lives in Florence, Italy. She has lived in the same flat for more than 60 years. She pays €450 a month in rent. The owner now wants €1,200 a month. Her agreement to rent the flat ends in February.

Her daughter says Franca cannot pay this much. Franca gets money each month. The new rent would leave her with almost no money for food. Her daughter has not told her about the change yet.

The family accepts a small rent rise. Her daughter can help pay it. But she says €1,200 is too much. She has asked Sunia for help. This group helps people who rent their homes.
