Mercedes vows to stay Vallecas lease ends soon

Oct 2

RTVE introduces Mercedes, 61, who has lived in a one-bedroom Vallecas home since 2014, using a Tuesday interview followed by a live October 2 conversation. She says her lease expires October 14 and the property company wants the home empty on October 15. After the decree defeat she is disappointed but vows to remain and await any legal claim, rather than leave voluntarily. She says she pays rent regularly, occasionally one or two days late, and pays approximately €480.45 under an affordable-rent arrangement. She attributes the refusal to renew to the property's corporate ownership and low rent, describing a transaction involving Inmo Criteria, Mosaic Propco and a chain she associates with Morgan Stanley; these are her claims. She recounts needing medical help after the Congress vote when her blood sugar fell. No eviction or court order against her has yet been completed in this account.

In an October 2 live RTVE interview following the housing-decree rejection, Mercedes, 61, vows to remain in her Vallecas home after her lease expires rather than leave voluntarily. She says the lease ends October 14 and the owner demands vacancy on October 15. She reports regular payment of roughly €480.45, attributes nonrenewal to low rent and corporate ownership, and describes receiving medical assistance after watching the vote at Congress. Her ownership explanation remains her claim. The public pledge and lease dispute are established; an eviction order or completed eviction is not.
