What stops you from showing up with a locksmith and a few hired security paid to just throw their stuff out of the house onto the street and then change the locks? Thats how they do it in the US.
- zxspectrum1982 2y agoIn Spain, that would put you (the rightful owner) in jail and the judge would tell you to give the keys to the squatter. Yes, it's that crazy.
- jjav 2y agoIf the squatter is allowed to break in while you're not home and change the locks, why can't the owner wait for them to be out and also break in and change the locks? Does the law specifically say that breaking in is allowed by anyone except the legitimate owner?
- zxspectrum1982 2y agoEssentially, yes, that's how stupid law is in Spain. But if a third squatter would break in, they'd be safe.
