Granada family faces eviction as landlord refuses payment plan
El Salto
- A family with two children aged 3 and 7 is facing an eviction in Granada scheduled for the 21st.
- Despite attempting to settle past rental debts incurred during a period of financial instability, the landlord has rejected payment proposals in favor of selling the property.
Conflict Background
- The family has lived in the central apartment for over ten years.
- During a previous period of unemployment, the family relied on an 800-euro social subsidy. When they attempted to catch up on missed rent, the landlord refused the payments to move forward with selling the apartment.
- Legal proceedings concluded in February 2026 with a formal eviction order.
- The stress of the impending deadline has resulted in significant mental health strain for the mother, Deborah.
Institutional and Market Barriers
- The family has been unable to secure new housing due to stringent rental requirements, including demands for 1500-euro monthly income proofs.
- Public authorities, specifically the Junta de Andalucía via AVRA, have allegedly refused to provide access to vacant social housing despite the family's documented vulnerability.
- Social services offered only a shelter, which the family deems unsuitable for young children.
Community Support
- The Granada Housing Union (Sindicato de Vivienda de Granada) has organized a protest to attempt to stop the eviction.
