I had the same problem. Renters moved in and paid one months rent then refused to pay any more. I got a solicitor who said that as they had the keys they were entitled. It look 6 months to get them out and probably only because their bar went bust. I won't have long term renters any ore.

We have a lovely 2 bed flat in Rosa Leda behind the Village Inn. We rent it on long term rents but all of our tenants seeem to move in and pay for a few months and then stop paying the rent. Is this the norm? Holiday Homes in Catral manage the rentals for us
I also had my apartment in Catral above the the Pharmacy rented out by letting agent El Rincon (Macdonald Fru) and the tenant stopped paying the rent after a few months and have not payed since June 2017 and is now squatting in there and cant get her out and the agent has not helped with the situation who gave her the tenancy agreement, I had to come over from UK to Catral on numerous occasions to try to sort this out but to no avail, I tried to get her out by going into my apartment and told her we are staying here and for her to move out but after a stand off she started banging and shouting and called the local police saying we are harassing her, who attended the property and saw our side of the situation but they called the civil police to attend, after heated discussions we were asked to leave or will be locked up at the police station with them showing handcuffs. i couldn't believe it we were escorted out of our apartment, so i to go over again in December with the title deeds and NIE number to eventually cut of the water and electricity, in the hope she moves out with her two kids, but apparently there is more people in the property now.
This is so stressing as i have a buyer to wants to buy it had it been empty. can anyone help?

I would hope it's not the norm! You are using an agent and they should chase up any rental problems as they are being paid a fee to manage the rental. What do your agents say about it?
Is there anything in the contract that the renters signed about what happens if they don't pay the rent?

This must happen occasionally and I would think that a good rental agent would have some sort of system in place to deal with it. The renters would obviously lose their deposit so you should get some recompense there, which may help a little.
Maybe other members on here can tell you their experiences.

Hi, although the OP dates back 5 years ago & the law has changed considerably in recent years, its therefore worth reading: (18 hours ago):

Hi John, Sorry to hear. Using simple logic either your tenants are ALL bad which is pretty unusual or your agent is systematically ripping you off.
Maybe go see them for that rental agreement and find out how much notice you have to give them. Meantime get recommendations for good agents and swap to one of them? ...

I thought exactly the same thing about the agents!
All landlords experience a bad tenant but one after the other is ludicrous and highly suspicious 🤔.
