In September last year, a 50-year-old landlord surnamed Lan rented out a combined first floor and basement property located in Keelung’s Nuannuan District to the Hsieh family, which has six members.
After Lan rented out the house, due to an issue with repair work to the old building, Lan and the Hsieh family repeatedly locked horns until the Hsieh family simply stopped paying the rent. This angered Lan, who issued the family with a final notice to vacate the property.
Because the rental agreement had not yet expired, the Hsieh family paid no attention to the notice. Lan, unhappy that the Hsieh family would not move out, was left furious when the family stayed on for more than four months, especially since Lan had only received a two-month deposit from the family. Last month, it is alleged that Lan went to the property and installed padlocks onto the first floor and basement entrance doors, causing the whole Hsieh family to be locked inside the building.

Keelung District Prosecutors’ Office, having determined that Lan was guilty of infringing personal liberty, has brought a prosecution against the landlord.

五十歲的藍姓房東去年九月將位於基隆市暖暖區一棟一樓與地下室的房子，出租給謝姓一家六口居住。
藍將房子出租後，與謝姓一家人為了房屋老舊修繕問題屢生口角，謝姓一家人乾脆拒繳房租，引起藍不滿，藍也下達謝姓一家人必須搬走的最後通牒。
由於租賃期間尚未期滿，謝姓一家人來個相應不理，藍不滿謝姓一家人不搬走，住了四個多月，又只收到兩個月租金，氣到去年十二月至出租的房屋一樓與地下室屋外，各裝設一道掛鎖，害謝姓一家六口被反鎖屋內。

Online retailer eBay has scrapped fees for private sellers across almost all of its categories as it attempts to keep fast-growing rivals such as Depop and Vinted at arm’s length. The move means eBay’s UK sellers no longer have to pay transaction fees, except for cars, motorcycles and other vehicles. In April this year, eBay removed fees for private sellers of pre-owned clothes, and the company said it was “now evolving the experience even further.” The site said ditching seller fees for fashion had already led to a double-digit increase in listings for popular items such as jeans, shirts and dresses, while at
