Legal tip 465. Never without First Occupation Licence
02 March 2011 @ 09:45

Out of a thread on the forums today: 


Why is it illegal for a builder to charge for electricity´s supplies?

Obvious answer: because that should never have happened according to Law. 

The same fact of living in a house without proper habitation license ( whatever the reason for this is: most likely lack of the correponding licenses) is illegal and can actually bring a fine by the administration to the habitant.

You may find this article interesting reading: http://www.eyeonspain.com/spain-magazine/licence-first-occupation.aspx

So charging for an illegal activity provoked by your own illegal acts is obviously illegal, even criminally illegal.

What is the best option then? Never to habitate a house without FOL AND make the corresponding claims against developer/bank involved.
