Arrears: what happens when owners do not pay in Italy

Short answer

To collect the contributions approved by the assembly, the administrator can obtain an immediately enforceable payment order (decreto ingiuntivo) without the assembly's authorisation. The administrator must give the details of defaulting owners to unpaid creditors who ask for them. After six months of arrears the administrator may suspend the defaulting owner from common services that can be enjoyed separately.

What the law says

Original wording of the law (Italian). The summary and the notes around it are ours.

Per la riscossione dei contributi in base allo stato di ripartizione approvato dall'assemblea, l'amministratore, senza bisogno di autorizzazione di questa, può ottenere un decreto di ingiunzione immediatamente esecutivo, nonostante opposizione, ed è tenuto a comunicare ai creditori non ancora soddisfatti che lo interpellino i dati dei condomini morosi. I creditori non possono agire nei confronti degli obbligati in regola con i pagamenti, se non dopo l'escussione degli altri condomini. In caso di mora nel pagamento dei contributi che si sia protratta per un semestre, l'amministratore può sospendere il condomino moroso dalla fruizione dei servizi comuni suscettibili di godimento separato.

What this means in practice

Suspension is a power, not a duty, and only for services that can be used separately. The article gives no basis for publishing debtors' names on a noticeboard or in the minutes. Another article (art. 1129) sets the administrator's own deadline to start enforced collection: six months from the end of the financial year in which the debt fell due, unless the assembly has expressly excused him. Creditors must pursue the defaulting owners before the owners who are up to date.

General information, not legal advice. Check with a lawyer in Italy before relying on it, and read your building's own documents: they can change how a rule applies.
