The law in Spain is firmly stacked on the side of squatters and tennant's, a guy we knew had some long term tennant's who lost their jobs in 2008 and couldn't pay their rent.... following legal procedures it too him 30 months to get them out, all their other debts also stayed charged against the house.An awful and very costly experience.Regards allJohn

By chance I would arrive a couple of hours later completely oblivious to the situation but very relieved.
Morning Dave, completely off subject, I know Manchester pretty well but I've been well and truly shocked over the last two weeks watching The Detectives on BBC, absolutely frightening to realise that there are folk like that sharing our streets.....if they knocked on your door you'd be out in a flash.Regards allJohn
Hi JohnI am sure you are right but thankfully most of us abide by the law that protects us all. That post was a bit tough guy talk but I am a firm believer in the judicial system here and in Spain.Here is the UK I have a landlord insurance and providing references are correctly obtained it covers me for loss of rent should the tenant default and the legal cost involved in eviction. I suspect a similar insurance is possible in Spain. Cut corners when letting and pay the price.
