Thanks for your reply Sal, and yes i believe you are right with what you say. I believe the letting company may not be a company as such but rather an ex pat living on the estate looking after a few properties as a key holder/cleaner, i know her and her husband and never thought she would do such a thing. she gave a contract without my signature but if she is not a registered company then would the contract be invalid?

Regards,

Dear sir/madam,

I received an e-mail dated the 15th January from the keyholder of my spanish property, which stated she had found a tenant and had told the tenant the rent was including bills which was not acceptable, so i called her less than 24 hours later on the 16th january 2012 to tell her "NO".

To my absolute horror she said that she had already given them a contract (which i had not signed) and the keys, for which i told her that this is against the law without my permission and told her to return the deposit and get back my keys. The "squatters" have refused to leave, can i ask what are are my rights under spanish law?

Shall i call the police and would i be allowed by law to enter the house while they are out and change the locks?
