Maricarmen Abascal, aged 87, was evicted from her home in Madrid's Retiro district after a private company purchased the apartment she had lived in since 1956. The company, Urbagestión, forced her to sign a new lease agreement that tripled the previous rent. This company is one of over 263,619 private corporations that own residential properties in Spain, collectively housing 1,076,753 dwellings, which is 4% of the nation's total housing stock, according to data from the 2025 Catastro analysis (excluding the Basque Country and Navarre).

Sales records also show that the number of private companies purchasing homes has increased annually since 2007.
