After a prolonged legal dispute, a family from Reus has finally regained possession of their house in the Aigüesverds urbanization. The tenant who had occupied the property for almost five years handed over the keys at the Reus courts, allowing the family to return to their property.
“"I am relieved and liberated."
The day began early in the morning at the Reus courts, where the owners received the keys. The tension and emotion were palpable, culminating in hugs and tears upon leaving the judicial premises. This event marks the end of a legal process described as long and exhausting.
Once they had the keys, the family went to the house in Aigüesverds, accompanied by the police. Access was not straightforward, as the lock on the main door and garage had been sabotaged with silicone. With the help of a neighbor, they were able to enter the property through a side garden, forcing open a blind. Once inside, they found a transformed home, with painted walls, changes in layout, deteriorated parquet flooring, and even an improvised shower in the garage.
“"The system has failed because we tried to do everything correctly, and look what happened to us. No one has put themselves in our shoes, especially from the Social Services of the Reus City Council."
The family has expressed their frustration with the judicial system and administrations, feeling treated as large property owners despite being a working family with a high mortgage. They estimate economic losses exceeding 40,000 euros. Despite uncertainties about the property's future, the recovery of the house represents significant relief and the closure of a difficult chapter.
