The Court ordered the Polish state to pay her 50,000 euros in compensation, after agreeing that the state-controlled rent in her property was so low she couldn't afford to maintain the building. Czech property owners have themselves filed some 3,000 complaints with the Court, in a legal campaign co-ordinated by the Prague-based Movement for the Defence of House Owners. Italian property owner Girolamo Giormani is the group's chairman.encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/dum_ostrovni1.jpg?timestamp=1591472945 https://english.radio.cz/czech-landlords-celebrate-strasbourg-verdict-polish-rent-control-8618572 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
