After persistent protests in Madrid, the 87‑year‑old tenant, who had previously been forcibly evicted, may return to her apartment. The decision was confirmed by several media outlets, including SRF News, DER SPIEGEL, ZEIT ONLINE, tagesschau, Deutschlandfunk, n‑tv, and ZDFheute.
According to SRF News, after several failed eviction attempts an agreement was reached between the tenant’s representatives and the real‑estate company that owns the building. The agreement stipulates that the rent will be about 500 €, which is the same as the previous amount, and that the new owners have obtained legal rights in court.
The case puts pressure on the Spanish government, reported ZEIT ONLINE.
SRF News reported that tens of thousands of people took to the streets in Madrid to protest the high rents and the growing housing crisis.
ZDFheute stated that after the forced eviction an agreement had been reached for the woman’s return to her apartment, according to her lawyer.
