Inquilinos denuncian el abandono de fondos de inversión como caseros: falta de mantenimiento y miedo a represalias

Summary

Article about the growing problem of neglectful landlords, particularly investment funds ("buitre" or vulture 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 in buildings owned by investment funds face systematic neglect, lack of repairs, and fear of eviction when they complain. A new tenant block in Usera (Madrid) is organizing to demand basic maintenance less than four years after a fund renovated the building.
