Over 200 Families in Little Havana Must Evacuate RV Park by September

The landowner, 1989 Sunny Court LLC, notified residents of Silver Court park on Calle Ocho of its closure on March 11. The eviction deadline is September 2025. Compensation offers: $10,000 for leaving by May 31, $5,000 by July 15, $2,500 by end of August, plus state payments from $1,375 to $6,000. Most residents cannot move their trailers as they are cemented to the ground. State Senator Ileana Garcia pledged to push for legislative reforms, including 9–12 month notice periods and compensation reflecting trailer value appreciation.

Court dismisses measures requested by residents of Villas Caravaning in Cartagena

A court has dismissed the residents' request for a judicial administrator for the Villas Caravaning campsite in La Manga. The management company Caravaning Costa Cálida stated the ruling confirms its position: the closure is due to unauthorized constructions by some owners and a community debt of 700,000 euros, not its management. The company continues dialogue with Cartagena City Council regarding a potential reopening.
