Eviction heartache for 2,200 families IN just two months, 900 families will have been evicted from their homes in Malaga Province. Despite the efforts of associations and the public administration, between September 15 and November 15, 900 families will have been forced to leave their homes, mainly because they are unable to pay their mortgages.
Before the financial crisis hit, most evictions related to those people who failed to pay their rent. However, since the beginning of the year, more than 2,200 families will have been forced to leave their homes in the province, the worst rate in Andalucia. Experts are asking for a change in the law, because solutions given by
the government, including giving the house in question to the creditor in order to cancel the debt, are not thought to be working well. The preferred option is the introduction of a social rent, whereby threatened families can pay for their homes under less pressure, instead of leaving them empty.
We’ll tell you the colour to choose VELEZ-MALAGA Town Hall plans to tell local residents what colours they can paint their homes. The Urban Development and Infrastructure Department has chosen 21 buildings from the 19th and 20th centuries from which it will take samples to determine the colours of walls in the town centre over the years. This applies to homes within the Special Plan for the Protection and Interior Refurbishment of Velez-Malaga Historical Centre.
