Uncertainty continues regarding the rents of Italian tenants during theCoronavirus emergency. But beyond families, and tenants of commercial properties, another category in particular suffering is that of students.

Contrary to what is foreseen for commercial activities (tax credit of 960% relating to the month of March 2020 for properties in the cadastral category C/1), at present no measures have been taken to meet the off-campus students who, despite the suspension of teaching activities, therefore find themselves in the uncomfortable situation of having to continue to pay the rent, unless other agreements are made with the owner.
It should be remembered that the contract regulating rentals for off-campus university students (law 431/1998 on rentals for residential use) provides a standard model, with duration which varies from a minimum of 6 to a maximum of 36 months (with maximum deposit of 3 months). The holder of these contracts can be the student himself or a parent. As with all rental agreements, the tenant is responsible for the ordinary condominium expenses and all utilities. While for the cancellation anticipated the maximum notice is 3 months.
It is therefore difficult, at present, free yourself from constraints in the absence of legislative intervention that regulates rental contracts for non-resident students during the coronavirus emergency.
The best option, therefore, is always that of contact the owner and seek an agreement given the circumstances also considering the fact that the academic year will not resume in a "classical" way and will continue with online lessons, exams and graduation sessions.
An exception, however, is Sicily region which has moved to tangibly help young Sicilians studying in other regions of Italy. Governor Musumeci, in fact, has allocated a fund to support the expenses of university students in difficulty, registered both in Italian and foreign universities. This is 7 million euros to support Sicilian university students away from home as an accommodation contribution.
In particular, 4 million will go to students enrolled in universities outside Sicily, including those abroad: 800 euros per student, if they have remained in those locations from January 31st until today. The recipients must be regularly enrolled in the 2019/2020 academic year, belong to a family unit with a certified I incomesee not exceeding 23 thousand euros per year and they will not have to benefit from other economic support provided for the same purposes.
