Summary
Article about the growing problem of neglectful landlords, particularly investment funds ("buitre funds"), who fail to maintain rental properties. It uses the case of writer Marta Jiménez Serrano, whose landlord ignored gas boiler maintenance until a leak nearly killed her and her partner. The piece highlights how tenants face dangerous living conditions, lack of repairs, and fear of eviction when complaining. A new tenant block in Usera (Madrid) is organizing to demand basic maintenance less than four years after an investment fund renovated the building.
