Changes to Spanish eviction law


In what we are seeing as quite a positive move, the Spanish government has recently passed a law to help stimulate the property rental market by making the eviction process much easier and simpler for landlords. Until now, the rental market for Spanish property has always been quite anaemic due to the lack of protection afforded to landlords, with one of the main issues being the length and difficulty of removing non-paying tenants. But it appears this is to change.
The new law should allow for the possibility of a direct execution of an eviction order of less than 15 days and without any other formalities in the case of tenants who do not voluntarily leave the property in the stipulated time.
