Hi BJ

Just so you know, new Money Laundering provisions passed on earlier on this year now force company administrators, amongst others, to disclose who are the real and ultimate beneficiaries of...

Hi BJ

Before speaking of costs lets continue debating on whether is is a viable option or not.

May I ask why is that you think you fulfill the 10 year criteria rather than the 30 years one?

Hi Fleur

You are welcome.

If Police are seemingly dragging their heels on this matter maybe its time fo you to consider using the leverage of a Spanish lawyer to assist you.

Btw I forgot to...

Dear Fleur

First of all a house without a Licence of First Occupation (LFO, for short) cannot be rented, it is illegal. The whole point of a LFO, as its own name indicates, is a legal check to...

Hi BJ

Interesting legal query, we don't get many of those.

I believe you have to wait 30 years to claim ownership of this real estate. Unless you tell me that you purchased it from someone...

Hi, please could you tell me how this new law of eviction will help me, i'm a pensioner and have moved to Andalusia to live, and rented my piso as i am unable to sell it at the moment, in the costa...

Dear Colin,

It would cost as follows:

€1,300 plus 18% VAT in legal fees
Plus a further €700 for the court agent

Yours sincerely,

Dear David,

The legislation you mention was brought into place late last year. The results are very uneaven, in some parts of Spain its has reduced drastically the timelines (3-5 months) yet in...

Hi,

You are welcome Colin.

Addressing your legal queries:

1) how do I find out if there is a law case filed?

You would need to appoint a lawyer to find out on your behalf. As I wrote...

Dear Colin,

To have you evicted from the property this can only be done through a formal legal procedure which implies you receiving a registered letter from a law court informing you of the...

You are welcome.

It can be requested from the judge ruling the case to have the legal fees awarded but it depends solely on him. There is no guarantee on this point.

I would honestly just write it off being such a small amount. Your friend can offset this loss against the 1 or 2 month's tenant deposit they had.

Pursuing this amount through the law courts in my...

You are welcome.

As per my post above exactly of what amount owed are we speaking of?

Yours faithfully,

Dear Sir or Madam,

It doesn't matter if they did not have a written contract, they will be held liable for these outstanding utility bills regardless. A verbal Tenancy agreement in Spain is just...

Dear Mr Johnson,

It is unnecessary to name everyone, yes.

I take the opportunity to offer you our Tenant Eviction Service.

Should you be interested, please contact us.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Madam,

A verbal Tenancy agreement is just as valid in Spain as a written one from a legal point of view.

It takes on average between 4-9 months to have them removed depending upon just how...

Dear Sir,

There is no such legal requirement in Spain. Deposits are normally held by the landlord.

Yours faithfully,

I could put more real-life examples of the queries I’ve received over the years but I think that’ll do for now. At no time can a tenant decide unilaterally to pay less rent or withhold part of the...

Hi Ricky,

You've been well advised. A tenant should always demand from the landlord that all outstanding issues be repaired prior to them moving in. i.e. green swimming pools, flaked painting,...

Dear Sir or Madam,

Your tenant must continue paying the €900 agreed as per the binding contract signed.

However, you have breached the contract as per the signed clause on signing a Tenancy...

You're welcome.

The Police do not detain you for debts!

No-one is sentenced to jail on owing money in Spain.

Another matter is that if you are sued you may be brought into custody to be...

Dear Sir or Madam,

I understand your plight.

When I was also an undergraduate student in Madrid landlords never missed out on the opportunity of taking advantage of poor students which by...

Dear John,

You are welcome.

Replying to your queries:

1 - How do I make a claim against my neighbour for the costs incurred by me if he has no insurance of his own?

In that case you would...

Dear Sir or Madam,

You cannot be held liable for this accident. You tenant cannot expect you to pay for their material loss.

As per my reply above, you would however have to carry out the...
