An 87-year-old woman who was evicted from her Madrid home will be allowed to return after the real estate firm involved backed down and restored her previous rent, according to Al Jazeera.
The reversal came after mass protests erupted over Spain's broader housing crisis, with demonstrators rallying in support of the woman's case as a symbol of wider concerns over rising rents and evictions across the country.
Housing costs in Spain have climbed sharply in recent years, fueling repeated protests in Madrid and other major cities as tenants and housing rights groups demand stronger protections against eviction and rent increases.
Details of the exact terms of the restored rental agreement, including its duration, were not specified in the report.
The case has drawn attention as an example of public pressure influencing individual housing disputes amid a broader national debate over affordability and tenant protections in Spain.
