The lawyer maintains that there is no non-payment and that, in fact, the investment funds that own the building in Palma owe money to the woman for having overcharged her

PalmaThe lawyer for Margalida, the 87-year-old woman who faces a trial this Tuesday to decide whether the old-rent lease contract for the apartment in Palma where she has lived for more than sixty years will be terminated, has asserted that her client does not owe any money and that the companies that have acquired the building want to evict her to make a profit.

This was stated by the family's lawyer, Aina D铆az, in statements to the media before entering the court hearing. The attorney emphasized that the proceeding does not respond to any economic claim for non-payment, as Margalida is up to date with her payments and, in fact, it is the vulture fund that owes her money for having overcharged her. The hearing this Tuesday will have to determine whether the woman's old-rent contract can be terminated, as she has resided in the same home for six decades. The defense maintains that behind the proceeding there is no outstanding debt, but rather the desire of the owning companies to recover the apartment to obtain greater economic return.
