Barcelona Court Schedules October Eviction of Montserrat Caballé Foundation and Brother

A suspension request over the octogenarian’s vulnerability under Spain’s tenant protections remains pending

Overview

  • Juzgado Nº36 has fixed the eviction for October 3 after Carlos Caballé and the Fundación Privada Montserrat Caballé did not settle roughly €41,200 in accrued rent.
  • Landlord Puntí S.L., classified as a gran tenedor, secured court authorization to use necessary measures—including breaking locks and police aid—to enforce the eviction.
  • Carlos Caballé’s lawyer filed a request on July 14 to suspend the execution, highlighting his 89-year-old vulnerability and income below €1,000 a month.
  • Under Spanish housing law, courts can halt evictions of vulnerable tenants when facing a gran tenedor, but no formal stay has been approved.
  • The foundation, launched to uphold Montserrat Caballé’s cultural legacy, says it continues its mission while negotiating with the landlord.
