I have signed the contract for an student property. It was a nine month contract signed separately, but I signed two of them and paid the deposit trusting in find my other housemate. Five hours later I had realized that I was not able to live in that country for a family reasons and I informed the landlord trying to cancel the contract and agree a reasonable payment, like the deposit of the two rooms that he already charged but he refused to do so and told me that if I signed the contract I have to pay the rent even if I am not living there. Or that I can find a replace tenant and after try to do so, they were going to see if they can do something for me. It Is is it possible to give them an early notification and ask again to cancel the contract or what are the risk I am facing if I dont find a replace tenant before my moving date?

The illegal tenants original contract ceased september this year, it was illegal, as he never paid the rent for 11 months. Despite notices to quit, he has ignored me, the cam bank want my house now, as the rent has not been paid, therefore the mortgage neither for 6 months. What rights have i now, this rotten man is losing me my home in spain, and hoping to take it over, for free. I have a mortgage, but over 120,000€ equity in the villa. I am planning to go over and throw him out. We as landlords need protection, any answers which help me please. thanks

How to Evict a Tenant who is not Paying the Rent
Dear Sir/Madam, We moved into a property December last year. It was advertised as a six bed villa with pool, and a parking space. After two months the damp in the downstairs of the property was awful, the landlord and rental agent told me it was my fault because i had not opened windows etc (very rainy in Feb) the damp continued and ruined thousands of pounds worth of goods. We asked the landlord to half the rent as we were paying for a six bed and only using three (upstairs only). We have had no compensation from him. We with held our rent payments to him regarding this, that he needed to sort out the problem, he still has not. My tenancy finishes the end of this month and i need to know my rights, can he just kick me out, as he owes me alot of money, also the property was converted from a three bed to six without planning permission. Does this not mean my contract is void?
How to Evict a Tenant who is not Paying the Rent
Hello, I am currently 7 months into an 11 month contract (although the contract was drafted in english not spanish - please comment on validity) and 2 months in arrears.
I paid the usual months deposit and month in advance upon moving into the property. Further payments were made by bank transfer until 2 months ago when I lost my job and couldnt pay my rent.
The Landlord is now threatening to change the locks and cut the electric off if I dont pay all the arrears in the next 10 days.
1. Can she do this?
2. What are my rights?
3. What procedure should she be following?
4. What should I do if she does change the locks while I am out?
5. What penalty would she face?
I am genuine and want to remain in the property but am afraid I will be unable to met with his unreasonable timescale for the repayment. I want to reach an amicable agreement with the landlord but it seems she isnt interested. What can I do?
Thank you in anticipation of your advice

How to Evict a Tenant who is not Paying the Rent
My sister has a flat that she has been renting out successfully for several years through an Agent in a small town near Vera. In August 2009, after the property had been empty for a couple of months, her Agent said he was returning to the UK but a friend of his would take over the letting of the flat but that an elderly couple would like to rent the flat. My sister agreed to this. However the elderly couple have refused to pay rent, it also appears that they have changed the locks on the property. My sister sent another representative to talk to the 'squatters' and at this meeting they agreed to start paying rent for which my sister sent them bank details. However no money has been forthcoming. The 'squatters' are now claiming they have squatters rights and are refusing to pay. What should my sister do?
How to Evict a Tenant who is not Paying the Rent
Dear Sir
I am using a Spanish Lawyer in Fuerteventura to try to evict a man who refused to sign the contract he was given. I had stupidly given him jey about 4 days befor e he got it. He paid some rent for a few months but now owes me over a years worth. I have been asked by the lawyer after many months to give them a form signed by me and apostilled by the foreign office. Is this a normal request, I am surprised it was not asked for immediately - not several months later. They have said to me the court has loads of cases and can give not time scale for the eviction. I am getting concerned the money send to them may have been a waste of time as inefficiency seems so rife.
Yours Roddie
How to Evict a Tenant who is not Paying the Rent
Hello. We have rented our house for 7 months to a couple. They have a contract saying that they are responsible to pay the utilities etc. They were told that they have to give 2 months notice if they want to leave before the end of the contract. They are always late with payments and will not pay the utilities. They say they are leaving with one months notice and are due to go in the next 2 weeks. They say take the money out of the deposit but the deposit will not cover what they owe and continue to build up debt. They lie that they have done a transfer and they havent. The agent only provided their passport numbers and we know they are going to another part of spain. We want to sue them but as they are leaving in 2 weeks time we will not have a forwarding address for them. Is it possible to issue a denuncia for unpaid rent and utilities that could be served by local police and they could see the tenants official id. more importantly could they make them give them their forwarding address which I believe to be in Malaga. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have a tenant on a rent to buy option, they have put down a large sum and pay the morgage for the next 2 years then due to compleat, if they defalt they loose everything. We are 6 months into the contract. They asked for 3 months grace on the rent as they say they a struggleing, i declined. They then sent me an email stating it was there intention to leve the property at the end of the month (whitch is when there next rent is due), i confermed my acceptance in way of reply email.
They have no seeked legal advice and there rep has told them thy may as well stay in the house asit can take 2 yrs for me to force them out, meaning i now have to pay €1500 per month while they stay in the property !
Given the written conformation that they were going to leve the property does that nopt mean i can change the locs at the end of february ?
How to Evict a Tenant who is not Paying the Rent
I rented a flat in Marbella a few weeks ago. The washing machine was not working and the water keeps pouring down from the toilet. Before I moved in, the owner promised to buy a new washing machine and call a plumber to repair the toilet. It was almost a month ago and nothing happened although I contacted the owner several times about it. What can I do? What will happen if I refuse to pay the rental fees until these problems will be solved?
How to Evict a Tenant who is not Paying the Rent
Thanks for your answer! May I have another question? Yesterday when I got back to the flat, the electricity was turned off and I have found a bill in the post box and according to it the owner hasn't paid for 4months. I rented the flat 1month ago and the rental fee has to be paid till this Friday, but I'm fed up and want to move out. Does this mean that the contract is no longer valid and I can leave without notifying the owner 30days in advance? (And without losing my deposit?) Maybe you should write an article about the rights of tenants... Thanks again!
How to Evict a Tenant who is not Paying the Rent
Hi, I have read all the comments on your forum and they make very interesting reading. I realise I have made some mistakes but so has my landlord.
I'm renting an apartment for 750€ a month and during the recent heavy rain storms the ceiling came down flooding half of it and causing damage to both the apartment and our own property. An insurance assessor promptly arrived and agreed the damage was caused by the flood and valued our costs at €2,000, (the ceiling fell on my computer and phone). The assessor went on to explain that his company wouldn't pay our claim as it had happened many times before and so wouldn't be covered. He suggested that we came to a rent agreement with our landlord instead.
I now realise it was a mistake but I only paid €500 rent that month and said the rest would be paid once repairs were made and compensation made for my losses or our losses were taken from any future rent.
He refuses to pay or accept any blame whatsoever, repairs have not taken place and half the flat is unusable. He now insists I leave at the end of the month but if do this I know I will never receive my compensation. What is my best option to resolve this?
Many thanks in advance Tim
