The Sindicato de Inquilinas e Inquilinos de Málaga is a tenant organisation based in Málaga, Spain, formed by people who rent or want to rent homes in the private or public housing market.5 Its stated purpose is to defend access to decent housing and promote rents that are affordable, stable, secure and dignified.5
The organisation operates through tenant self-organisation, collective advice and mobilisation. Its activities include welcome meetings, assemblies for people affected by housing problems, collective consultations, contract and abusive-clause reviews, mediation with estate agents and landlords, and support for tenants facing harassment or other abuses.3 It also organises building-level assemblies, conducts research into rental conditions and property practices, and develops campaigns intended to influence legislation and public policy.7
The group advocates regulated rents linked to household incomes, protection against unjustified evictions and non-renewals, and an expanded public rental housing stock.23 Its public campaigns have also addressed illegal charges by estate agents, tourist-use housing, vacant homes and the broader effects of property speculation and tourism on Málaga’s housing market.1112
The organisation’s work is primarily local. It seeks to build tenant organisation across Málaga’s neighbourhoods and municipalities, while also participating in campaigns and cooperation involving tenant unions in other Spanish territories.712 Public information identifies Málaga as its operating city; a 2019 organisational dossier listed meetings at Centro Ciudadano Plaza Montaño, while a later participation page listed a monthly assembly at Calle Vital Aza 18 in the Lagunillas neighbourhood.57 No individual leaders or named officeholders were identified in the reviewed sources.
