Urbagencia proposes that Maricarmen, 87, return to her home in Madrid

Urbagencia Desarrollo e Inversión SL has presented this Friday a proposal to the Madrid City Council so that Maricarmen, an 87-year-old woman who had been residing for 70 years in the property now owned by the company on Mayor Sáinz de Baranda Street in the Retiro district, can return to what was her home until last Wednesday.

According to a statement, Urba Gestión seeks with this new movement to coordinate with the City Council and other administrations a solution that allows Maricarmen to return to housing with "a stable and affordable housing alternative."

Thus, it has been made available to the Municipal Housing and Land Company (EMVS) of Madrid and the municipal Social Services so that the proposal can be resolved in "the shortest possible time."

Likewise, the company has taken the opportunity to clarify that it does not own the building on 46 Alcalde Sainz de Baranda Street, but rather bought from the previous owner of the building only the home occupied by Maricarmen, this being the only home that Urba Gestión owns in that location.

The Madrid Tenants Union, for its part, has assured that neither the organization nor Maricarmen's lawyer have received any information about the proposal announced this afternoon by Urba Gestión.

Previously, the company denied in another statement that it had demanded that Maricarmen pay a higher rent than what it had been paying.
