What happens

Aquí no hay quien viva (English: No One Could Live Here) is a Spanish comedy television series focusing on the inhabitants of the fictional building at the address Desengaño 21 in central Madrid. The series debuted on the Antena 3 network in 2003, and was later rerun by the same network as well as cable/satellite channels Neox and Paramount Comedy. Antena 3 Internacional satellite channel broadcasts the series to Latin America. The series debuted in 2003 and became popular thanks to its amusing characters, witty script, and capacity to integrate and poke fun at contemporary issues; the program presents a caustic satire of many of the archetypes found in Spanish society. In 2006, Antena 3's rival Telecinco acquired a 15% stake in Miramón Mendi, the company that produces the series. Miramón's contract with Antena 3 expired in June 2006 and was not renewed, bringing the series to an end, since the actors' contracts bind them to the production company and not to the network. Miramón Mendi then rebooted the concept for Telecinco with a similar cast, a suburban setting, and brand-new characters and storyline. La que se avecina debuted 22 April 2007. On 15 October 2021, the series was added to Netflix. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
