Problem is the owner has to do that and I am in the u.s. right now and not returning until end of October. I am going with Rob’s suggestion through a third party. We will see what happens monday. Thanks for your reply, good suggestion.

just a thought for renters that won't vacate, why can't you have the utilities turned off? No electric, no water etc.

There’s been two recent articles that I’ve read dealing with squatters , one in the New York Times and the other in the BBC news . In Spain they are called Okupas and in the US they call themselves Moorish Sovereign Citizens . It makes for interesting if somewhat scary reading , leading one to wonder if this is an increasing trend .

Google if interested :

She bought her dream home , then A sovereign citizen changed the locks (NYT)
The hard men removing squatters in Spain (BBC)

About 5 years ago when my daughter and her husband returned from living for 3 years in Ibiza in Spain (he is from there ) she would tell us stories about Okupas and how summer residents would deal with them when they returned .

Similar to Rob’s suggestion they found the most effective method was to employ the local chapter of the Hells Angels , costly but effective .

Has anyone had the experience of someone who is renting and then does not pay thier rent and refuses to leave? What is the procedure to get them out. Just wondering. Thanks

When it was our property in Ixtapa I went there wearing my shit-kicking boots, machete and badass attitude, threw their stuff out on the street, changed the locks and put a big chain and padlock on the gate (it's a big tall gate and fence). I don't believe in getting the authorities involved in such matters unless there is no recourse. I'm a naturalized Mexican citizen.

Timid folks may have different experiences.
