What happened to a young couple in Innsbruck in their shared apartment is almost unbelievable. Seeking help, they turned to politicians and also sought legal advice. It is a unique case that has probably never been heard of before.

Your own home should actually be a place of refuge. Door closed, noisy, stressful world outside, peace and comfort inside. That's what Paul and Marie (names changed), a couple in their early 30s, imagined when they moved into a shared flat in Innsbruck before the summer. But things turned out very differently.
