Tenant with no verbal or written contract
Could you please tell me my rights with this issue.
Previous owner now deceased left an apartment in the will. However the owner had a unpaying lodger staying there with them and now the lodger claims to have rights to stay there. I also come over on holiday and have to stay there with this person. How can i get the person out if i can't change the locks or cut off the utilities

Dear Sir/Madam,
Verbal tenancies are just valid in Spain as a written one. I notice you refer to this person as a tenant and not as a squatter meaning that at some point they were paying a rental fee.
Even if they are a non-paying tenant you must have them formally evicted. you cannot lock them out, change the locks or shut off the utilities.
Besides, you are not the landord, only a beneficiary that still has to talke ownership of the property.
Please read our article:
