Someone has now changed our mailbox lock without our knowledge- I think it's our nasty neighbour
Helpful member
You may or may not be aware of some of my previous posts where we spent years and a lot of money evicting our tenant for non-payment of rent , who happens to be the son of the self -proclaimed President of our block .
There isn't any legal 'Community of Owners' , no AGM minutes, accounts , administrator , comunidad, red book or other ledgers signed off by a notary.
Just this nasty neighbour of ours who claims to be acting President/Secretary who seems to have keys to all the important areas of our building , including the roof , water cabinet and electrics room where all the main supply sockets are located .
Having sole access to these areas , he's caused immense trouble by taking revenge on us for evicting his son. He has pulled off electrical wires from our mains power supply , switched off our water several times and refused us access to our water stopcock by locking the door to the roof and also locking the water cabinet. Further, him and his son have also broken our door locks and assaulted my brother (that was a few years ago).
He is well known to the local police but they seem to do nothing about his criminal acts apart from giving him a warning, no matter how much we complain to them. We've not heard anything regarding the denuncia we raised against him last May 24 , so maybe the courts have decided it's too trivial an issue.
Anyhow , since we evicted his son , he has never given us the keys to our mailbox and we know he's been stealing our mail but we cannot prove anything. We don't expect any important mail because all our utility and tax affairs are done online so there is nothing confidential he can access via our mailbox (which we've never accessed).
My brother visited his apartment yesterday to find that our mailbox lock seems to have been changed!!!! How weird is that! Why would our neighbour change the mailbox lock that we've never had the key for?
Also , a plumber visited our apartment to fix a leak and pressed the intercom button for our flat, but apparently some lady answered through the intercom, obviously from another flat in the building.
So it seems our mailbox lock has been changed but also our intercom button routed to some other persons flat in the building.
Now we are wondering what dastardly deed this neighbour is planning to do (if it is him). Any ideas?
I thought that no locksmith can change a lock on a mailbox or property door without some legal proof of ownership, yet our mailbox lock has been changed without our knowledge. So I've already contacted 2 local Calpe locksmith's ( there are only 3) who claim they've not done any work at our building address. Just waiting for a reply from the third who is relatively new to the area.
The sooner we can sell this apartment , the better for our mental health as it's been the perfect 'White Elephant'.
