The trial for the death of a girl from Xi'an who took poison after checking out of a rented house was held (the landlord involved was charged with intentional homicide)

A girl in Xi'an died after taking a large amount of sleeping pills to check out the rent, which attracted widespread social attention. Recently, the case was heard in Xi'an Intermediate People's Court. The landlord involved was charged with intentional homicide.

Case Review

In October 2019, a girl in Xi’an had a dispute with her landlord because she had to pay back the rent. That night, the girl took a large amount of sleeping pills in her rented room and died. The police found a suicide note left by the girl at the scene, saying that she had been threatened and intimidated by the landlord because she had to pay back the rent, and she could not bear the pressure and chose to commit suicide.

After investigation, the police found that the house where the girl lived had multiple violations, such as no windows in the room, poor ventilation, and no fire-fighting equipment. At the same time, the landlord also threatened and intimidated the girls many times.

The landlord involved was charged with intentional homicide

In this court hearing, the landlord involved was charged with intentional homicide. In court, the girl's family and lawyer accused the landlord of threatening, intimidating and abusing the girl many times, causing her to have a mental breakdown and ultimately commit suicide. The landlord said that the girl left voluntarily and that he did not threaten or intimidate the girl.

The court will review the evidence provided by both parties and make a final decision.

Should the landlord be held liable

This case has attracted widespread social attention and triggered discussions on the landlord's liability. On the one hand, the landlord, as the lessor of the house, should be responsible for the safety, sanitation and other issues of the house, and should not have any violations. On the other hand, landlords should also abide by laws and regulations in their interactions with tenants and must not engage in threatening or intimidating behavior.

Therefore, the trial and judgment of this case will also provide important reference and reference for the handling of similar cases in the future.

End

The trial for the death of a girl in Xi'an who took poison after checking out of a rented apartment has attracted widespread attention from society. We should remain vigilant against similar incidents, and we should also call on relevant departments to strengthen supervision of the housing rental market and protect the legitimate rights and interests of tenants. It is hoped that the trial and judgment of this case can provide important reference and reference for the handling of similar cases in the future.
