Yleinen ongelma vuokranantajille Espanjassa, ovat vuokralaiset jotka eivät maksa vuokraa, eivätkä myöskään ole valmiita luopumaan asunnosta. Mitä tehdä tällaisessa tilanteessa?
Ensin kannattaa yrittää neuvotella vuokralaisen kanssa ja lähettää maksuvaatimus, lakimiehen avulla voi lähettää myös virallisen kirjatun vaatimuksen. Jos vuokralainen on valmis maksamaan, voit yrittää allekirjoittaa maksusuunnitelman (riippuen siitä, luottaako vuokralaiseen), jossa vuokralaisen on maksettava vuokrat tietyllä ajanjaksolla. Jos vuokralainen ei maksa tietyssä ajassa, hänen on myös annettava avaimet takaisin ja hänelle ilmoitetaan, että omistaja ryhtyy oikeustoimiin saatavien suhteen ja hakee vuokralaiselle häätöä. Yleinen tapa periä maksamattomat vuokrat on erityinen prosessi, nimeltään "proceso monitorio", jossa häätö ja perintä voidaan käsitellä samanaikaisesti tuomioistuinkäsittelyssä.

Fighting for consumer rights in Spain. How to get the entrepreneur to respect consumer rights?3/13/2021 Fighting for consumer rights in Spain usually requires communication in Spanish and often the skills of a lawyer, as well as unyieldingness and patience if you want to get the consumer case to your advantage.
Spain, with a population of about 50 million, can also accommodate a wide variety of entrepreneurs, and our law firm is often contacted when an online order was never delivered and customer service speaks nothing but Spanish. But there has also been all kind of cases where entrepreneurs do not stand for their obligations to refund or restore false installations or products, for example, custom-made yard furniture and structures have been different from those mentioned in the offer, etc. Spanish consumer protection is multifaceted and there are different types of consumer bodies, such as online public consumer instances, who act as a “disgrace platform” to companies that have failed to comply with consumer standards. There are also regional official consumer bodies and other consumer organizations. In addition, there is a legal system under which the consumer can take his case to court. Spanish and Europe also have strong consumer laws to confirm a consumer’s demand. If your consumer rights have been violated, you should first contact the entrepreneur and try to reach an agreement. If this does not help, our lawyer can contact the entrepreneur directly and file an official complaint. The matter can then be taken, for example, to a local consumer body, which will make a decision on it or take the matter up to court. Depending on the case, the consumer may have the legal right to claim additional compensation up to double the amount.

Illegal arrested in Spain? Can you allege to Habeas Corpus and be set free?What is Habeas corpus?2/25/2021 What is Habeas corpus?
Many people tend to think that once someone is arrested, they could simply spell the magic words of “Habeas corpus” and claim their right to be set free until the court proceedings, while they should be presumed innocent. However, that is not the case; even if it is true that the Spanish Constitution does state that every person has a right to freedom and that if arrested it has to be on legal grounds, if not, then he has the right to allege for Habeas Corpus, it still has to fulfill certain conditions. First of all, the aim of the habeas corpus proceeding is not to judge the issue if someone is innocent or not. Habeas corpus is the proceeding, that aims to protect the rights of legal detention, meaning that one can claim habeas corpus when he is illegally arrested. The Organic Law of Habeas Corpus is stating the different situations for which one could be considered illegally arrested. If one thinks that the arrest is illegal, then he, the lawyer, the prosecutor or Ombudsman officer or f.ex. a family member can claim for habeas corpus, which means that the case has to be reviewed and decided about the illegality or not about the arrest within 24 hours. Common assumptions for illegal arrest could be that one is arrested without that the officers have informed about the grounds for the arrest, or is kept one arrested over 72 hours without a legal proceeding. However, one has to understand that habeas corpus is not applicable in situations, where it exists a judge's decision on putting someone behind bars. In general, the applicable situations are when the police, guardia civil or other authority is locking someone up without legal grounds or when one is put to jail via a civil arrest for a crime in flagranti. In these cases, and if you are concerned that the arrest did not fulfil the conditions for a legal arrest you could claim for habeas corpus and get your case reviewed within 24 hours and claim the possibility to be set free. Please, not that the concept of habeas corpus is much more than discussed in this post. This post is not meant for any legal advice. More specific info about habeas corpus by case-by-case study. Please, contact us in case you are arrested illegally and we can study the case. The European Commission has proposed an improvement of the global system on Migration and Asylum that covers all the extent necessary for a comprehensive European approach, improving cooperation with countries of origin and transit, guaranteeing effective procedures, successful integration of the refugees, and the return of those refugees who have no right to stay. This is intended to carry out more efficient and faster procedures, implementing an integrated border procedure that includes a pre-entry screening that involves the identification of all persons who cross the external borders of the EU without authorization or who have disembarked after a search and rescue operation. It also includes carrying out health and security controls, taking fingerprints, and registering in the Eurodac database. Once this is done, the selected persons will be directed to the appropriate procedure, either at the border for certain categories of applicants or in an ordinary asylum procedure. As part of this border procedure, decision-making will be faster, so that the uncertainty of the people whose cases can be examined, will take as little time as possible. It is also intended to achieve an equitable distribution of responsibility and solidarity of the Member States, which will have the obligation to be responsible and in solidarity with each other, contributing in solidarity in times of emergency to accomplish to stabilize a conclusive system, supporting those Member States under pressure and ensure that the Union meets its humanitarian obligations. A flexible contribution system from the Member States is also proposed by the Commission. These can range from relocating asylum applicants from the country of first entry to assuming responsibility for the return of persons without the right to stay or various forms of operational assistance. The existence of a solidarity mechanism will cover different situations, including the disembarkation of people as a result of search and rescue operations, pressure, crises, or other specific circumstances. The Commission will seek to promote a common EU system for returns, to make EU migration rules more credible and propose common coordination, with better strategic planning to ensure that EU and national policies are aligned, as well as better monitoring of migration management on the ground to increase mutual trust, improving the management of external borders. Achieving credible legal migration and integration policy will benefit European societies and economies. Launching partnerships with non-EU countries tailored to EU force and skill requirements will strengthen resettlement and promote other complementary routes, seeking to develop a European support system. Certificado UE, the “green card”
Citizens of a Member State of the European Union or another State that is part of the Agreement on the European Economic Area and Switzerland have the right to reside in Spain for a period exceeding three months if they meet a series of requirements. For this they will get a green card that is called Certificado de ciudádano de la Unión Europea, which can be temporary or permanent. Similarly, this right of residence is also applicable to family members, whatever their nationality is, if they accompany or are going to reunite with a citizen of a Member State of the European Union or of another State that signs a party to the Agreement on the European or Swiss Economic Area that meets the conditions. Residence card, Tarjeta de residencia or TIE It is an identity card for foreigners (made of plastic), which contains your photo, type of residence, etc. Unlike the EU certificate, the residence card is admitted for people who are not citizens of a State of the European Union, the European Economic Area or Switzerland, or relatives of citizens of these countries to which the regime applies of Union citizen. It is normally acquired, for example, when a visa or authorization to stay in Spain for more than six months has been issued. Unlike the EU certificate, which is a (paper) card for people from an EU member state, which is processed without the need for a visa and for the mere fact of residing in Spain for more than three months. NIE The NIE is the Foreigner Identification Number, it is an administrative document issued by the Police that administratively identifies us with the organs of the Spanish state. A foreigner can have a NIE, although he would not have legal residence in Spain. It is not the same as an authorization to reside in Spain, as it is only an identification number for a foreigner before the administrations and before other institutions, such as banks and it is obtained before a residence authorization. With the NIE, there is the possibility of opening a bank account, registering a company and hiring a mobile connection in Spain, before obtaining legal resident status. Espanjassa taisteleminen kuluttajan oikeuksista, vaatii yleensä kommunikointia espanjan kielellä ja monesti lakimiehen osaamista sekä periksi antamattomuutta ja kärsivällisyyttä, jos haluaa saada kuluttaja-asian maaliin omaksi eduksi.
Espanjaan, jossa n. 50 miljoonaa asukasta, mahtuu myös monenlaista yrittäjää ja usein lakitoimistoomme otetaan yhteyttä, kun verkossa tehtyä tilausta ei koskaan toimitettu, eikä asiakaspalvelussa puhuta muuta kuin Espanjaa. On ollut myös tapauksia, joissa esim. mittatilauksella tilatut pihakalusteet ja rakennelmat ovat olleet muuta kuin tarjouksessa mainittu jne. Espanjan kuluttajasuoja on monikirjoinen ja kuluttajatahoja on eri tyyppisiä, kuten esim. verkossa toimivia julkisia kuluttajatahoja, jotka toimivat ikään kuin häpeälistana kuluttajanormeja laiminlyönneille yrityksille, on myös aluekohtaisia virallisia kuluttajatahoja, sekä muita organisaatioita, jotka ajavat kuluttajan asioita. Lisäksi on oikeusjärjestelmä, jonka mukaan kuluttaja voi viedä asiansa oikeuden ratkaistavaksi. Vahvistusta kuluttajan vaatimuksille voi antaa Espanjassa ja muutenkin Euroopassa vahvat kuluttajalait. Mikäli kuluttajan oikeuksiasi on loukattu, kannattaa ensin olla yhteydessä yrittäjään ja koittaa saada asia sovittua. Mikäli tämä ei auta, voi lakimiehemme olla suoraan yhteydessä yrittäjään ja kirjata asiasta virallinen reklamaatio. Asia voidaan sitten viedä esim. alueen kuluttajataholle käsiteltäväksi, joka antaa siitä päätöksen tai viedä asia oikeuteen. Riippuen tapauksesta, kuluttajalla voi olla lailliset oikeudet vaatia lisäksi korvausta jopa kaksinkertaisena määränä. Espanjassa valtakirja virallistetaan yleensä paikallisen notaarin luona. Valtakirjaan voi sisällyttää erilaisia asioita, riippuen toimeksiannosta.
Valtakirjan voi myös laatia Suomesta käsin, kääntää sen virallisella kääntäjällä, vahvistaa se Suomessa julkisen notaarin luona ja liittää siihen vaadittavat apostille todistukset. Silloin tulee selvittää, minkälaisen sisällön valtakirjaan, toimeksianto vaatii. Pankit, viranomaiset ja notaarit tai muut tahot voivat asettaa tiettyjä kriteereitä valtakirjalle, jotta toimeksianto voidaan toteuttaa ja niissä saattaa olla eroja. Riippuen virkailijasta, virkamiehestä tai muusta päättäjästä, voi olla, että valtakirja vaaditaan kaksikielisenä käännettynä virallisella kääntäjällä. Vaikkakin Euroopassa englanninkieliset valtakirjat tulisi käydä eri jäsenmaiden notaareilla. Espanjalainen valtakirja on tärkeä esim. kiinteistökauppojen, yrityksen perustamisen, oikeudenkäynnin tai muun asian yhteydessä. • Mikäli olet Suomessa etkä pääse matkustamaan Espanjaan, voimme avustaa valtakirjalla esim. espanjalaisen pankkitilin sulkemisessa, espanjalaisen yhtiön muutosilmoituksissa, espanjan asuntokauppoihin liittyvissä toimeksiannoissa jne. • Mikäli olet Espanjassa ja tarvitset valtakirjaa, joilla asioida täällä, voimme avustaa käännöstöissä, ilmoittaa mitkä asiakirjat vaaditaan toimeksiannolle ja käydä notaarilla virallistamassa valtakirja. In Spain, a lawyer practicing law or legal advice must hold the title of abogado (lawyer) and be a member of the local bar association (Colegio de abogados). This means that not everyone is allowed to sell legal advice or represent a client in court.
There are, of course, a few areas of law or situations in which, for example, the client can send the application to court himself or defend his case without a local lawyer (an abogado). If you intend to practice law and provide legal services in Spain, you must have the required degree in Spain. Legal studies started elsewhere can also be accepted and completed in Spain. As a general rule, once a Spanish law degree and diploma in law (máster en ejercicio de la abogacía) has been recognized, the lawyer is still required to practice under a senior abogado, after which he may take part in national exams for lawyers. If the exam is passed, the lawyer must apply for a certificate from the Spanish Ministry of Justice. He can then apply for membership in the local bar association (Colegio de Abogados). The members of the association must meet certain conditions and send information to the association, e.g. criminal record and details about their own business or workplace. Besides, the abogado must have insurance or other warranty that covers responsibilities that occurred in their practice. The abogado then receives his or her bar association number for identification. In Spain, therefore, it is not possible to practice law without being a member of the bar association(Colegio de abogados), and only lawyers belonging to the bar association with an abogado title may practice as a lawyer. An Abogado must also abide by the rules of the bar association and its legal duties. Spain allowed the automatic denial of these permits without taking into account key aspects, such as the seriousness of the crimes, the link with the territory or the potential danger to public order. In this matter, the Spanish law is contrary to the EU regulations.
The CJEU now dictates that the Directive opposes Spanish regulations according to which a third-country national can be denied long-term resident status in Spain for the mere fact that he or she has a criminal record. The Court of Justice notes that, in order to apply the Directive correctly, the possibility of denying long-term resident status to a third-country national on grounds of public order or public security must be established in the internal legal order of a State member with the specificity, precision and clarity required to guarantee legal certainty and that it is up to the courts to verify that Spanish law contains a provision that meets these characteristics. In order to deny an applier long-term resident status for reasons of public order or public security, the Court of Justice indicates that it follows from the Directive that a refusal of this nature implies that several elements are considered and weighed - on the one hand, the seriousness or type of crime committed by the person in question and the danger that this represents for public order or public safety and, on the other hand, the duration of their residence in the host Member State and their possible links with this State member. Therefore, the competent authorities of a Member State cannot automatically consider that the long-term resident status of a third-country national should be denied on grounds of public order, under the Directive, simply because he was convicted of a crime. |
