Tenant Eviction in Costa Blanca
When you buy a house, whether it’s for living or renting, it’s an investment that requires a lot of organization. Renting your property can be an important source of income. Most landlords consider themselves fortunate to have responsible and communicative tenants on a long-term basis.
Unfortunately, not all tenants are the same. In today’s market, there are also many reasons why you may need to evict your tenant. Things like non-payment of rent, lease violations, property damage or illegal activity on the premises can be good reasons to evict your tenant. With solid evidence and legal representation, you are very likely to win your case.
But, there is always a chance that the tenant can win. Read on to learn how you can protect yourself and your property during the eviction process.
At CLF we can help you create a formal notice of eviction. A letter document that creates a clear instruction and a deadline for your tenant (including a date). Use this guide to help you create a notice and post it on your door.
Be sure to bring your lease documentation and any communications that have come up between you and your tenant.
Evict the tenant and collect the back rent. After a certain date, the courts can have the police physically evict the tenant if they do not or cannot rectify the situation.
Our process.
In this case, we require the contracts signed by both parties and request all documentation in this regard.
We investigate the causes of the conflict of interest between the two parties and the reasons for the dispute.
The first option is always to mediate to try to avoid a possible lawsuit, when there is no mediation between both parties, at CLF we fight for the interests of our clients.

Three matters resolved in just over a week. Alfonso Soler grasps the problem instantly, provides excellent honest advice and guidance. Not everyday one finds a great Lawyer.
I wish to thank wholeheartedly for the attention it has given me. The court's decision against me was positively satisfying. I owe it only because of CFL's professionalism. Not speaking Spanish I was having serious worries. But I must admit, thanks to the perfect follow-up of the file by my lawyer with a return in Spanish, in English easy to understand and also in French: no detail escaped them. thank you very much.
I heard about them through a mutual friend, and I’m so glad I ended up working with them. Very focused and determined about their work. They won’t let you down, they get work done.
The attention and how they have behaved with me has been excellent and they have solved my problem fast and effective.
Alfonso at Coast Law Firm is very professional, knowledgeable and friendly.
Alfonso had handled my inheritance for me and done everything to our complete satisfaction and in a short time professionally. Recommended top lawyer.
Highly recommended. I want to thank Alfonso and his team for such a great job and efforts. I will definitely come back to him if needed in future!
It's very difficult to find a lawyer here in Spain that is a dedicated professional that speaks fluent English, but with Alfonso this is not an issue. A good friend recommended him to deal with a very complex property case. His dedication and preseverance achieved us the best outcome. I Definitely would recommend him to fellow Expats living here in Spain.
Alfonso Soler dealt with a criminal case for me involving various court visits, a trial, and appeals over a period of years (I was not the criminal!). Thanks to his skill and professionalism, the case eventually resolved in my favour. I am very satisfied with Alfonso services and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for legal services in the area.
If there is a word that defines Alfonso and his team is Professional, on a technical level but above all on a personal level. Always attentive and available, he has effectively solved any doubts or problems that may arise. You know at all times that you can count on him. Thanks, Alfonso, we will continue counting on your services.
A trusted lawyer. Seriousness, professionalism, close and human treatment, availability and efficiency. It gives a lot of tranquility to have professionals like Alfonso before any problem that may arise.
Everything went well, very professional help. I liked that the company has its own Russian translator, it makes communication very easy. Unlike many other firms, the lawyer here informed us when something was changing or step by step what to do. In Spain you rarely see compulsion and punctuality. Thank you for your help!
I required Mr.Soler services in order to solve inheritance and real estate issues with the Spanish authorities. From my experience within the firm I can confirm that the service was excellent and extremely technical with a very pragmatic approach and attention to detail. As a former lawyer I truly recommend Mr. Soler as he is highly knowledgeable and client oriented.
For a good definition Professionalism, attention, clarity and ease in cases. Really a 10 at the time I needed it most. Thank you.
Absolutely Fantastic services and they make you feel like family.
Very efficient, professional & fast services. Highly recommended.
Alfonso is a friendly lawyer dynamics who accompanied us very much in our steps and purchase. He was on holiday but he came to do all our papers because we went back to France and it was urgent to block the sale.
We bought a house in Oliva and not knowing what to do, we contacted Alfonso. He made all the transactions for us until the final act of sale at the notary. We are delighted with his performance. We strongly recommend that you contact him. Thanks again for everything Alfonso.

What are the steps for evicting a tenant?
When you rent your home, the hope is that your tenants will treat the space with the same respect as you do. Even if you have a good relationship with your tenants, it is important to remember that renting is a business.
Understand and protect your rights. It is important to know the law when writing a lease. At CLF International Lawyers we will create an effective and responsible lease for you, so that you can avoid any conflict with the tenant as much as possible.
It is important to remember that removing the tenant’s belongings or changing the locks without an official eviction has been filed is completely illegal. There are many reasons to evict a tenant, but in general they include not paying rent, violating a lease (such as pets or illegal substances), or causing significant damage to your property.
Before you rush, talk to your tenant and explain. The eviction process is long, and if you can correct the problem immediately, it is definitely the easiest way. Don’t give your tenant the opportunity to make the same mistake twice.
How can a tenant win an eviction?
Even if the proper documentation and legitimate reasons work in your favor, it is possible to lose an eviction case. The most common reasons for a landlord to lose an eviction are
Not settling out of court. Going to trial can increase your fees, cause you to lose money, and cause you unnecessary stress. It is best to settle out of court whenever possible.
At CLF International Lawyers, we recommend that you take care of your conversations, notices and leases with your tenants.
Accept partial payment of rent. Once you have accepted even a partial payment from the tenant, you lose the right to evict them. Do not accept any money from the tenant unless it is the full amount and you intend to cancel the eviction.
What to do if a tenant wins?
If the tenant wins the eviction, they have the right to remain in the property. The court will decide how to proceed in each case. Possible outcomes could include:
Court orders may require the landlord to pay the tenant’s legal fees.
The landlord may be liable for additional fees paid to the tenant depending on the judge’s decision – and whether you followed the proper legal protocol for eviction.
The best way to ensure that you do not lose an eviction case (or end up owing money to your tenant) is to follow our guidelines and seek advice from our legal team.
