UN Housing Rapporteur Criticizes Spanish Eviction Law, Cites Cruelty in Corporate Rentals

UN Special Rapporteur Koldo Casla stated that a corporate rental market is permissible under international law if well regulated, but criticized Spanish legislation for not requiring judges to consider tenant and landlord circumstances in evictions. He highlighted the eviction of 'Maricarmen' as an example of cruelty, suggesting investment profitability does not justify such outcomes. The remarks signal potential international pressure on Spain's housing policies, though no immediate policy change is indicated.
