"All I ask is that we can spend the time we have left, and it won't be much, at home, do we ask so much?"

  • “In 2017 I handed my house over to the bank in exchange for paying the debt and all I asked was that I could continue living there paying the rent. I've been in this house for over forty years. I was told that yes, even though the rental contract was for three years, the bank's own director told me it was a standard contract, to be quiet, that there were going to be no problems with renovating the rental. Now they tell us that they do not intend to renew the contract,” says Ángel Miguel Medrano, desperate. Her wife, María Oliva Corvo, and her partner, 75 and 78 years old, could be evicted from her house of Irun.

“I gave the bank’s director confidence, believing that he was doing what he owed. I value my verbal promises and I am desperate, I have paid the rent every month and now I have a letter in which I am told that the contract is over and that they do not intend to resume the rental. After going to Stop Evictions, the association itself has talked to them and confirmed that they have no intention of renewing the contract,” Medrano explains. The last day is January 24, and if they fail to renew the contract, the company’s dismissal order would come to them.

After his son took over the company that governed Medrano, they asked for a loan at Banco Sabadell to meet the company’s needs, but the business did not thrive and as a loan guarantee the paternal house was established, the bank stayed with the house. In particular, the Solvia real estate, which manages the homes acquired by Sabadell, is behind the event.

His wife has lung cancer with metastases, “I don’t know how much longer it will last,” says Medrano. “The only thing I ask is the time we have left, and it’s not going to be much, to be able to spend at home, is it asking so much? We don't want any benefits or compensation, just stay at home. I never thought I could see myself in this situation.”

Under current legislation, applicants apply for a seven-year rental contract, with the possibility to extend the rental for another three years. Pressure is being put on the Stop Evictions association in Gipuzkoa to do so.

Do you have to endure in winter and then leave? No thank you.

Medrano explained that he has found great support in the Stop Evictions partnership. The Spanish Government has just approved that no one in the State can be dismissed until the end of the state of alarm, which is 9 May. The member of Stop Desahucios Rosa García told us clearly that they have no intention of going to this possibility: “Now you stay home for them to be thrown in a few months? Don't even think about it. Seven years and the possibility of extending the rental, that’s what we’re going to fight for.”
