“I’m overwhelmed. Why don’t you want to renew my contract? Who speaks is Miguel Ángel Medrano, who together with his wife, Oliva, will see each other on the street in a few days. This married couple of 78 and 75 years old, she is ill with lung cancer, guaranteed her son’s mortgage loan with her home already paid for her whole life, but when she could not make the payments, she ended up with the delivery of the house as a dation. in payment and with the signing of a social rental contract for three years, without any extension, which ends on January 24. Minutes after starting his intervention, he had to leave because, as Stop Evictions has advanced, “his wife had a test at the oncology clinic today but due to everything she is going through, having to vacate the house in the coming days has worsened her situation and has had to be admitted.
The Stop Evictions, Alokairu Benta Berri and Inquilinos Azora platforms, as well as institutional representatives of the Irun, Donostia and General Councils of Gipuzkoa councils have gathered this morning in front of the Banco Sabadell branch on Avenida de la Libertad in San Sebastián against the «eviction by the real estate company of this entity, Solvia ”, from a“ vulnerable ”retired couple, guarantors of their son’s mortgage, of their home in the Gipuzkoan town of Irun. «We demand that the social contract terminated for seven years be renewed with the automatic extension of three more, maintaining the social rent of 315 euros, so that this marriage of mortgage guarantors continue in their house paid for their whole life“They have sued from the Stop Evictions platform, while they have reported that” the Mayor’s Office of Irun undertakes to mediate with Solvia-Sabadell to ensure that they do not file an eviction lawsuit due to the termination of the contract and proceed immediately to sign the new contract ».
It is A 78-year-old retiree has visibly excitedly explained that “we had a surgical supplies company And when the Social Security payments were late, we had to ask for a mortgage loan. Banco Sabadell offered to do so and offered me my house as collateral. The credits were getting worse and so that the debt did not increase, the bank asked me to make the payment donation. The only objection I made is that they let us continue living in our house on a rental basis, where we had been living for 42 years. We signed the corresponding payment dation on January 24, 2018 and they presented me with the rental contract where there was no renewal clause. I claimed it but they told me they were standard contracts and there would be no problem ”. However, on September 1 they were informed that the contract was ending and they had to leave their home.
The organizers have indicated that Solvia manages the homes that Banco Sabadell obtains, in this case, for foreclosure claims urged by not being able to pay the mortgage loans, as is the case with the son of this marriage.
The same sources have reported that “they did not appear – they defended in the lawsuit and only when Solvia notified them on September 1 with a burofax that they had to vacate and hand over the keys on January 24” did they contact Stop Evictions.
The platform has underlined that Solvia and Sabadell «know by documentary the situation of vulnerability of this marriage, accredited by an exhaustive report from the Irun Social Services “, and yet” they have not responded “to the” fair “request to renew their social rental contract for” seven years with an extension of three. “
