Canopies-tende da sole - Legal Question
Submitted by FromNowOn on Tue, 07/28/2009 - 08:44In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
We have just taken posession of our newly purchased groundfloor appartamento and it has a fantastic electric canopy which extends over the kitchen patio doors and continues over the window of the room next door. I had not appreciated the cost our vendor must have paid for it. I have one question though - it is attached to the underside of the long balcony of our neighbour above. Presumably our vendor had permission from the neighbour to fix it there - what are the legal implications if it causes damage to their balcony? I expect we will be responsible even though it was not us who ordered/carried out the work in the first place.
fairly simple

should you use the canopy you will be responsible if any damage occurs... to avoid this you could/can have it removed but also make good the underside of the balcony...then again reflecting on the whole thing there will be some condominium rule regardin the top and bottom areas of balcnies...ie should semething leak from the top onto your area... so there will most probably be some sort of shared responsibilty vis a vi how each balcony top and bottom is maintained.... look at any serious book shop in italy and half the window will be taken up by books on condominiums and their running... go to any court and most civil cases in Italy are to do with disputes re neighbours...so not so simple... simple might be keep bringing all the neighbours nice presents or cheaper but not so friendly act like murdering criminals... with connections to even more murderous criminals and you will have a problem free life... well unless they ask you to get rid of the neighbour above them.... then you might have to own up
Thank you for your replies.

Thank you for your replies. Just a thought, are tende da sole the full responsibility of each apartment owner or does the condominium have some responsibility? For example, when we had to replace the tiles on the terrace (we are on the top floor and it was leaking ) and balconies, the condominium paid for part of it and we paid the rest.
