Hi Nicky,
I'd start with the owner who you're renting from - it could be an oversight on their part.
Is use of the pool and other communal facilities included in your contract with the owners?
I wouldn't stop the rent - two wrongs don't make a right in law, especially in Spain - but I agree it's worth finding out how much the annual community fees are, pay them (if it's only one year outstanding), divide the cost by the number of months rental you have left and then deduct that sum from the rental each month. Most importantly, put that proposal in writing to the owner, before doing it - and check with the community president and/or administrator that your access will be reinstated if you pay the outstanding fee.
In reality, you probably only have 6-8 weeks left to use the pool anyway, so probably not worth giving yourself the headache of finding alternative accommodation (especially in high season), if you can come to an amicable agreement with the owner.
Good luck!
Kind regards,
Kim
