80% disabled by multiple sclerosis, a 42-year-old woman was stuck at her home in Mantes-la-Jolie (Yvelines) for almost a month due to a broken elevator.
The device, unusable between April 19 and May 11, was impossible to repair due to a worldwide shortage of semiconductors, indicates 78 Actu.
A floor lowered on the buttocks
But the Mantaise can only move around in a wheelchair.
Refueled by her housekeeper for the duration of the breakdown, she was still forced to leave the building to go to the hospital after feeling unwell.
As the paramedics were not equipped, the tenant had to descend the floor separating her from the ground floor on her buttocks with the help of her sisters.
Built in 2020 and bought in 2021 by a lessor, the residence is inhabited by other people with reduced mobility, who are also inconvenienced.
The lessor assured that he had asked the elevator operator to account.
The tenant deplored a "double penalty".
