How to Evict a Tenant who is not Paying the Rent
I have tenants in Cadiz who stopped paying rent since September 2008, start lease date was June 2008.
They have refused to pay any more rent, their lease was for 6 months only which expired December 17th 2008. They still remain in the apartment and are not paying any rents nor community fees. They have been served a legal letter to vacate property and pay all monies due and still they remain.
Since their lease contract is up what can I do to remove the tenants from hell?
Can I move in to the apartment myself and live there legally as their lease agreement has expired?
Or what would you recommend?
Regards,
AJ.

I rented a house in spain on a 11 month contract. I was not given an contract or inventory to sign. I now have had a hard time due to job hours and am 10 days behind. I did say I would move. The letting agency is saying we must pay now as well as the utilities as per our rental contract, but untilites were included in the rent as per the ad we rented from. Also saying they want to check the items in the house as per the inventory. I never signed a inventory or rental contract- I dont want them to say something is broken when we know it was never in the house. Your advice please

This is a bit humiliating. I work for a letting company and we rented a house but did not get the rental contract/inventory back from the tenant. This is a shortterm lease under 12 months. The tenant is not behind and utilities are owed. Is there a way to get the tenant to now sign and if not what can we do?

Hi,
I am thinking of renting my house. I am debating whether or not to have tenants sign a contract/inventory as the house will be furnished. I have been told it is best to go month to month by some and that I would be ridiculus not to get a contract signed by a tenant. Which would you suggest?
How to Evict a Tenant who is not Paying the Rent
Hi, I am 10 days behind on my rent and the agent also forgot to give me a contract. When I rented the house the advert said that utilities were included in the rent. I have since received notice from the agent that my contract (which was never signed by me) states that only 80 euros per month is alloted for utilities all else I must pay. I have the advert which states that they are included. I have also been informed that the owners are filing a denucia against me for these utilities and rent. What does this all mean and can you help?

I saw the query before and had a question about similiar. I have just moved out of a flat where it was rented with all utilities included also. Before I moved the landlord filed a Denuncia for unpaid utilities, I was told that this will damage my creditworthiness. I was also not given a contract. Is this true and what can be done?

How to Evict a Tenant who is not Paying the Rent
can you ask a tenant to pay outstanding utility bills and damage to the property after they have already vacated the property one month previously? (particularly if the matter was not discussed prior to the tenant leaving the premises and the deposit was already settled)
How to Evict a Tenant who is not Paying the Rent
on the subject of outstanding utility bills and deposits - if an agent (working with the tenant on behalf of the landlord) allowed the tenant to use the deposit as the last month rental payment - and didn't advise of any outstanding bills at the point that the tenants vacated the property, but later contacted them to request the payment of such bills - what legal action can be taken against the tenant for not paying these bills? (in this instance, the bills were in the landlord's name and have already been paid in full). the tenant has been notified of these costs but sadly weeks after they had vacated the property. is there any way of legally chasing for these costs if they are refusing to return my calls or is it a lost cause?

Hi, can you tell me were I stand. My Agents let out my apartment for a week to prospective client of their's with out our permission or our signatures on the contract. they did not pay any security, also the said tenant did not take a copy of this contract, and has a reciept for one weeks rent. Is the tennant therefore tresspassing on our property as they have no agreement with us to be there.
The said contract also stipulates that they are responsible to pay all utilities, therefore if I did disconnect them how is that cosidered coercion?
