′Psychological torture′: Spanish tenants fight back against housing ′harassment′ (The Guardian)
|
|
|
Court in Madrid will soon decide whether developers are using construction to force people out of their homesWhen the Madrid building where Jaime Oteyza had lived since 2012 was sold to an investment fund two years ago, a local tenants' union swiftly warned him what to expect.First the tenants would be told that none of their rental contracts – regardless of their expiry date – would be renewed, the union said.

|
|
|
While the country's capital is loosening regulations, the Catalan city is strengthening social housing. Their outcomes will affect all our futuresIn Spain, two cities face the same crisis, but are responding in fundamentally different ways. Over the past decade, the cost of housing in Madrid and Barcelona has soared – with rents rising by about 60% and sale prices by 90% – leaving young people, working families and retired people struggling to stay in their homes or even find one.Yet, while one city is betting everything on construction and giving free rein to big investors, the other is cautiously trying to steer the housing market towards the public good, despite political and institutional constraints.Jaime Palomera is a researcher on housing and inequality, author of The Hijacking of Housing, and co-founder of the Barcelona Urban Research Institute (IDRA) and the Tenants' Union Continue reading......
