2. Formal Notice Requirements for Eviction

To initiate the eviction process for non-payment of rent, a formal notification is generally required. This can be a Burofax, sent via a certified postal service that provides proof of delivery and content, or another legally recognized method. The notice must clearly state the amount of rent owed and demand payment within a specified period. According to Spanish law, for non-payment of rent in commercial leases, this period is typically 30 days. Failure to pay within this timeframe, or to resolve the breach in another stipulated manner, permits the landlord to proceed with legal action.

3. Legal Representation and Court Proceedings

For civil claims exceeding €15,000, Spanish law generally requires legal representation by a lawyer (abogado) and a procurator (procurador) in court, as stipulated by the Ley de Enjuiciamiento Civil (LEC). In commercial eviction cases where the total rent owed surpasses this threshold, engaging legal counsel is mandatory. Upon filing the lawsuit, the tenant has a period, typically 10 days (as per Article 437 of the LEC), to respond to the court, outlining any grounds for opposition. The judge will then review the case. If the eviction is granted, a court order will be issued, which may involve law enforcement or bailiffs to facilitate the tenant's removal.
