Domicillo or residency?
Hi All,
Be grateful for some advice...
I’m an EU citizen from the UK, and will spend at least a year in Italy on an unpaid sabbatical. I’ve recently managed to go through the process of declaring my residency with the anagrafe, my application is currently being processed.
My landlord has been contacted as part of the verification process. He’s asked me to declare this is my “domicillo” instead of residence, given it is not a permanent move. But what are the implications of this? Is that even possible? none of the guidance I can see about the process of legally residing here mentions a domicillo. I’ll be here for a year at least and will be paying tax on my little income in Italy, I don’t technically have a home in the UK at present (as I’m renting out my property).
Grateful for any advice, I’m not sure if this has benefits for my landlord...
thanks

Re: Domicillo or residency?
Your landlord probabbly doesnt want you to have residence in the property because he has and will have tax implications for him. You have to have residency in Italy if you are staying for more than 3 months. However you have a year long contract which technically is 'temporary' and does not provide for people to ask for residence at the address unless you fall into certain categories which you dont. It's something that should be cleared before you sign a contract. Before contracts were registered very few landlords wanted renters to take residency because they had to pay tax on the income. Assuming you have signed a rental contract and had it registered at teh tax office, there is very little reason for the landlord to not permit it, unless it is his residence and he pays no IMU.

I only need temporary residence, I'm a bit worried at the suggestion that's not a possibility. What are the categories for temporary residency? Sorry for all the questions, it's so hard to find comprehensive info on this!!
thanks

There is no such thing as temporary residence - you are either resident or not. Its your rental contract which is temporary - transitorio - and its a contract designed for students and people working in towns away from their homes. If the contract is registered, I dont see why the landlord isnt keen - ask him why and explain that you have to have residence if you are in Italy for more than 3 months. Its likely he doesnt really know the reason why he's not keen.
