Ezker Anitza Donostia has denounced that eight tenants have received a message informing them of the obligation to vacate their homes acquired by the Azora fund before the end of the year.
Ezker Anitza-IU Donostia applied for this Saturday urgent measures against real estate speculation to the municipal government, which he called the “imminent eviction” of several tenants of houses acquired from Inmobiliaria Vascongada by the Azora Fund in the Gross district.
Exker Anitza-IU has stated in a statement that the situation of several tenants of the buildings located on the street Bermingham 1, Zabaleta, 55 and Segundo Izpizua 2 “It is a result of the lack of action” by the city council “which in its day did not impose any form of coercion to prevent the intrusion of vulture funds into the city.”
He points out that he “warned”, when Azora bought the houses of Inmobiliaria Vascongada, that “it would not keep the tenants in their houses for long”, because the aim of the company is “to empty the flats to obtain economic performance “.
As reported by the Platform of People Affected by Azora and Stop Evictions this week, the investment fund has informed eight of these tenantsvia office fax, the termination of their contracts and the obligation to leave the residences before the end of the year.
The rise in house prices has made the capital Gipuzkoa “a paradise for companies seeking maximum economic performance”, emphasizes Ezker Anitza, who believes that this “speculation” has consequences for prices continue to rise and housing “becomes a luxury” for the people of San Sebastian.
In the view of this group, the “emergency housing problem” that has existed in San Sebastian for years has been exacerbated by the proliferation of tourist flats and hotels and the Purchase of houses by “vulture funds”for which he has demanded “immediate and firm action”.
He assures that the municipal government “has instruments” to stop speculation in the Basque housing law of 2015 such as the registration and canon to vacant homesthe price publication reference index and even “the expropriation of empty houses from two years old”.
Behind the sale of Inmobiliaria Vascongada to the Azora investment fundon numerous occasions it was denounced the rent walk which he offered to his tenants.
A year ago, several residents of Ategorrieta also complained about the “pressure” of the Azora Fund.
