El goteo no cesa y este martes Barcelona conoció A new building where tenants are at risk of being evicted from their floors. On this day, the neighbors of Calle Sepulveda 83, near Sant Antoni (Eixample), like Casa Orsola, were “block en fight”. He explained that from time to time he began receiving messages from the Sindicato Socilista de Vivienda in the area warning that the heirs of the farm’s assets were sold to a company last June and that their contracts would not be renewed at the end of the contract. The new property is from Vandor, a “Barcelona-based investment, promotion and property management company with a focus on the non-permanent housing sector,” according to the company’s website.
Like Eixample and many other areas of the city, such as Gràcia and Pobresec, this building is where the elderly, families with minor children, and some single parents have lived since birth. A new cavity has been created on the 28th floor of finca. Elsewhere, he lives with the Sword of Damocles before his contract ends. One project is scheduled to end earlier, in December, and the other in 2026. Erica, one of the Vesinas, reported to the press that there were vulnerable people on the farm: “Little by little they started marching in front of people who wanted to avoid conflict or who thought there was nothing they could do in the face of this situation.” If a neighbor discovers a new building, the vacant home is not yet under construction and remains closed.
“Sepulveda 83 is a great example of how the real estate business forces people to abandon their homes. Large tenants and investment funds buy upright buildings and profit through practices such as subdividing residential floors and paying seasonal rentals.” communal lifedamage to houses as a fundamental right,” the union members argued, citing the example of Block Paparona, located on Calle Llança, just a few hundred meters from Sepulveda (83).
Union and organizational leaders said they tried to contact Mr. Vandor, but he was “unresponsive.” They hope to provide knowledge of their case to begin “negotiations” with the new home and pressure them to “prevent the vacancy of the building.” Among those affected was Boris Oleato, who told Beteve that his contract would end in the next few months and expressed fear for his future. “My children are educated in the neighborhood, and we have a support network here. Because of the high rent, we couldn’t even visit our neighborhood, Sant Antoni.”
In February this year, the Animal Society of Eixample updated the survey data of the Federation of Vecinales (FAVB), the five associations of the region (Doretta, Esquerra, Nova Esquerra, Sagrada Familia and Fort Pienc) and the Sindicato de Inquirinas. They warned that 232 properties in the district have been purchased or are managed by companies, that around 70% of the rental properties are seasonal (according to searches on internet portals), that around 21% of the beds in the district are tourist beds, and that since 2016 there have been 4,000 invisible vacancies (the crime of not being able to secure vacancies of their own volition in the previous year because they could not withstand the conditions imposed on new infections). These invisible losses are causing the association to displace 10,000 residents (multiply the number of buildings by an average of 17 floors per property and 2.5 people per floor, in a scenario where 100% of residents march).
