Evictions Lawyer in Malaga
Lawyers specialising in evictions
In the rental world, one of the most difficult problems that can arise is eviction. Whether it is a landlord needing to evict a tenant for non-payment, or a tenant facing an unfair eviction, the legal procedures can be lengthy and complex.
However, no matter how complex the problem, a good eviction lawyer can help you find a solution, whether it is filing an eviction lawsuit or defending yourself against an eviction you consider unfair.
Tenant rights and duties
The law on urban leases regulates in a very specific way the rights and duties of the tenant in the event of an eviction.
Your rights as a tenant
It is important to know all your rights before going to court.
Eviction for non-payment
The procedure is very special, with deadlines, formalities and measures that only exist for this case.
Deadlines and documents
For an express eviction, it is very important to respect the deadlines and documents required by law.
The legislation
Housing is one of the most important issues for our society and every year some law is modified that affects evictions, such as the so-called “Housing Law” of 2023.
How a lawyer can help you with evictions
Evictions are a significant problem in Malaga City, with a considerable number of cases every year. According to available data, in 2020, at the height of the crisis, there were 3,834 evictions, affecting businesses and families almost equally. In 2021 there were almost 3,000, in 2022 there were 2,000 and in 2023 there were more than 1,200.
In the case of Malaga, the majority of evictions (1,124) were evictions linked to the Urban Leases Law (renting), which is 33.5% less than the previous year, while 234 came from foreclosures or repossessions of a property for sale following non-payment of a loan (61.7% less).
These statistics show that, although the number of evictions has decreased in recent years, it is still a major problem in Malaga. Evictions can have a devastating impact on people’s lives, resulting in the loss of their home and creating a great deal of stress and anxiety.
An eviction lawyer is an expert in the laws that affect evictions and can advise you about the eviction process, help you file or respond to an eviction lawsuit, or represent you in court.
What you need to know about the eviction process
To get started, you will need to provide all relevant documentation:
- Lease agreements.
- Eviction notices.
- Other documentation related to your case.
Deadlines may vary depending on the nature of your case.
For example, in the case of an express eviction, the process can be relatively quick, less than 1 year.
In a procedure involving minors or vulnerable persons, the time limits can be up to 2 or 3 years.
However, an experienced lawyer can help speed up the process and ensure that all deadlines are met.

Questions you may have
How long does an eviction take?
An eviction does not have a specific time frame, because it depends on many things.
In the fastest procedure, for non-payment, without the tenants objecting, we are talking about 3-6 months to recover the property.
If they oppose, they have special circumstances, the court that you have to deal with is held up, they appeal, etc., it can take up to 2 years or even longer.
What is the cost of the procedure?
Well, it also depends a lot on the procedure, if you are also going to claim months of rent, if there is a trial and the reason for the eviction.
At a minimum we will have costs of €1,500 and could go up to €3,000.
Why is the contract so important?
will not be valid in court.
It is important that it is drafted in accordance with the law and that what is agreed is complied with, because the judge will not authorise an eviction unless it is well done, even if very common clauses have been signed, such as “if I need my house I will let you know and you will leave in a month”.
In addition, other clauses are often put in place that speak of “notice” or “communicate” and then nobody complies with them, which will complicate the procedure a lot.
How does this procedure work?
First, a burofax of notice must be sent, with the reasons for the eviction and a deadline for the tenants to leave voluntarily.
Once the deadline has passed, the lawsuit has to be filed, with a lawyer and a solicitor.
As a general rule, within a month the court issues a decree with the date of the eviction (lanzamiento) if there is no opposition and the date of the trial.
This is sent to the tenants, by the Court or directly by our BARRISTER(faster, but at a cost) and if the tenant is not at home or does not want to pick it up, it is published in the Court.
The tenant can either not object or, within 10 days, object to the complaint. If he does not oppose, he will be sentenced and evicted on the date initially set. If he opposes, there will be a trial and a judgement and after all this, and after a possible appeal is resolved, the eviction.
The eviction
Although it is generally believed that the eviction is the moment when you have to leave your home, in reality it is called “lanzamiento”.
On the day set by the court, the solicitor, two representatives of the court and a locksmith will go to the house.
If you do not open the door of your own free will, the locksmith will do so.
Normally, the tenant vacates the flat before the eviction, so the eviction is carried out in a short time and without problems.
If he is there and refuses, the court representatives will call the police and forcibly evict him.
Claiming unpaid rent and damages
Once the property has been repossessed, the landlord can file a special lawsuit called “executiva”, to collect all outstanding rent, unpaid bills or damages.
In it, he asks the court to seize the tenant’s assets that are being investigated at the time: balance, bank accounts, goods or paychecks.

Tenía un problema serio y complicado en relación a un inmueble, el abogado al que había acudido otras veces no supo como abordarlo y fue dilatándolo hasta que casi pierdo el control de la situación. Recurrí a Fernando y la experiencia fue muy distinta. Desde el momento en que me senté a hablar con él me invadió la tranquilidad (además la primera consulta fue gratis). Me propuso una gran variedad de opciones más de las que se me habían planteado en meses. Lo que parecía un caso perdido terminó por ser todo un éxito. Fernando es un gran profesional con una cercanía que lo convierte en único en su sector. Sin duda volveré cuando me surja cualquier imprevisto o duda legal. Muy recomendable.
