Evicting a tenant in Murcia requires following the strict judicial procedures laid out in the LEC (Ley de Enjuiciamiento Civil). Self-help evictions are explicitly illegal and can result in criminal charges for coercion.

Non-Payment of Rent (Desahucio por Impago)
- Burofax: Send a formal notice demanding payment.
- Lawsuit: If not paid, file a lawsuit. The tenant has 10 days to respond.
- Enervación: The tenant may pay what is owed to cancel the eviction (allowed once per tenancy).
- Court Order: A judge issues the eviction order.
Because of the Ley 12/2023 housing law, additional protections exist for vulnerable tenants, meaning evictions in Murcia can often take 6 to 12 months.
