It never was a rental I was just helping a so called friend of my daughter for two weeks.  It is not a matter of a suitcase he arrived with about 15 boxes of stuff.  I should have been warned then but he said he had nowhere to store his stuff.  I have been stupid and should have been alerted when he stared to unpack it all.  

Apparently if he had a contract there is now a fast track legal system and it can be as little as a month but that is where I am worried --would that apply to this situation.  I think I am going to have to go to court and get a free lawyer and an interpreter before anything.  But I will cut off his electricity as it is my property and why should he benefit from free electric on top of everything.

thankyou

He is fortyish.  Cannot turn off water as it is connected to main supply.  Even when I have had to some plumbing have to ask community for turning off water supply to whole building.  Have just spoken to the electrician but he is on holiday but will be back next week.  He says it can be done from outside the studio.  So am going to do that.  Means he will only have cold water and no way of cooking etc.  Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Ok take.  Will call the buildings electrician to see if it is viable without causing problems for neighbours.  It is ok for you to say toughen up but he is a nasty piece of work and although the Guardia could not tell me why he was already in their system from his old address and they warned me against antagonizing him.

Thankyou all for your advice.  The problem is he never goes out except to walk the dog for give minutes.  The dog is part of the problem as I have lots of friends willing to dispatch him but what do I do with the dog even if he did go out long enough to change locks etc.  I have thought about the electric but this is an old building and at the moment the water and electric is incorporated in the community fees as it used to be a hotel.  We are getting individual meters but not until September soonest.  What I really want to know is there any difference with eviction because he has no contract or paying rent as I invited him to stay in my tedious albeit only for two weeks.  When we went to the Guardia one of the old guard said to just throw him out and change the locks but when I told him the Guardia who did the original denunciation for eviction had said it was against the law he checked with a younger Guardia who said the same thing and that if he called the police I could in theory be arrested.  Hey agreed it was stupid but advised me to go the legal route which is going to take time and I have to put up with his insults whenever he sees me in the building.  

 I really need to know if a judge will treat it the same as if he did have a contract or will it be more difficult.

 

sorry for being so pessimistic but I am 70 years old with high blood pressure and am not sleeping because of this.  Also although I have been told I will be appointed a lawyer my Spanish is not fluent enough for a court.    

Thankyou all tho for your helpful imput

Hello Everyone

 

My problem is that I have a studio which faces my apartment which I use for family coming on holiday or friends in need.

It is not a rental studio and never has been.  The last person living there was a 98 year old women who I moved in there so I could look after her.  A so called friend of my daughter asked if she could help him find a place to stay for a couple of weeks until he moved in with a friend of his.   As he had nowhere to go and no money to go with and a dog as well she asked me if I would help.  I did.   That was two and half months ago.  After the first week he asked if I would put him on the padron at that address but I said no as he was not going to be there that long.  He then told me that he was not leaving and I would have to go to court to evict him.   Since then he has called the police saying that I was continuously knocking on his door and screaming at him.  This is a total lie. He also shouted at me in the street when I did have a word about him keeping his dog quiet telling me that his dog does not bark and the only one that does is myself as I am barking mad.  I have since heard that he is trouble.  To be honest he scares me. I then made a denuncia against him and have to go to the courts next week and get a lawyer for an eviction order.   But people are telling me it will be difficult as he has no contract and does not pay rent.   Does anyone know where I stand with this.  My son is supposed to be coming in August on holiday with my daughter and law and his children.  He was going to take over my apartment and I was going to use the studio to sleep in.  He is now considereing cancelling as there will not be enough space for him to stay.

 

Any ideas anyone would be greatly appreciated.
