In Donostia, real estate developer Naiz Homes denied allegations of executing evictions, stating it intends to respect existing rental contracts and has reached agreements with most residents through personalized housing solutions. The company clarified that its Zurriola project is a rehabilitation effort rather than a demolition.

However, the Provincial Court of Gipuzkoa later ratified an eviction order for a tenant and their family in Donostia. The court ruled that the tenant breached contract clauses by unauthorized subletting, noting that while the lease began for five people, municipal records showed the number of residents had reached 17. The court dismissed appeals, stating that prior permission to sublet a single room did not authorize renting to an indefinite number of occupants.
