Cosimo by MMega

I rented an apartment through this company at Via dei Serragli 167, and what happened there was unsafe and deeply troubling. There was a strong mold smell when I arrived, with active mold on multiple walls, the ceiling, bathroom, and bedroom. A licensed inspector I hired confirmed severe damage requiring at least €8,000 in proper remediation. The company sent someone who used bleach and paint instead, and the mold remained visible. They also told me I couldn't get my own inspection, which is false. Tenants in Italy can obtain independent inspections for unsafe conditions. My doctor advised me in writing to leave for health reasons, but the company still argued with me. Communication broke down quickly. They blocked me on WhatsApp and email. The tax code on the contract didn't match a legitimate business, and when I visited the listed office addresses, none existed. They also operate under several business names, which is a common red flag in rental scams. Their online reviews look suspicious too, with patterns often associated with bought or fake reviews, a common tactic among fraudulent operators. I had to file a police report and get help from the Carabinieri just to retrieve my belongings safely. My main contact was Edobardo Mancetti, who presented himself as the person in charge. Do not give these people your business.
