    Question Tenant not paying rent in Spanish property.

    Hello,

    I have a Spanish property, we took on tenants early this year, they paid 3 months rent but are now in arrears of nearly 4 months. I've spoken to them a number of times and they keep coming back with excuses, at first they seemed genuine. Unsure now.

    They have signed a contract and we have a copy of their photo ID.

    What are our options if they decide not to pay the arrears? All suggestions very welcome, as this is extremely frustrating. Thanks.

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    I strongly suggest you read my article on the matter:

    How to Evict a Tenant who is not Paying the Rent - 17 Dec 2007

    Regardless if the tenancy is short or long term, you will need to have them evicted. I take for granted your tenancy agreeement had no arbitration clause.

    In which case you would have to hire a litigation lawyer to initiate the formal eviction procedure.

    We can offer you our Tenant Eviction for a Spanish Property:

    Who is it intended for:

    This service is provided to landlords that have a non-paying tenant in their Spanish property (either a dwelling or commercial premises).

    What does the service include?

    Analysis of the case and legal advice.
    Preparing and filing your suit.
    Dealing with court proceedings.
    Attending judicial hearings and submitting evidence.
    Claiming unpaid rents before the Spanish Courts.
    What are the steps ?

    We will first try to reach an amicable agreement.

    If this fails, we resort to taking legal action. It generally takes a year or less to have the tenant evicted.

    If you are interested please contact us.
