Hello Benson,
I just read your story and all the replies. What is now the update in your case. We have almost same problem. We had arranged someone to do small renovations in our chalet. Since the chalet is empty and we knew him, he asked if he can rent the small guest house outside for his office and later the main house so he can freely worked on it. We have an limited rental contract for 6 months. The renovation started in Nov 2022 but very slow. We made paid some money for the materials. He did not pay the rent and renovate the house according to his taste but did not show us the invoices and concept he made. Last March 23 , my husband went there to look for the pool snd brought some chlorine and anti algae. They forced my husband to get out of the property and closed the main gate. His girlfriend hold the arm of my husband and both leans on the gate for him not to go out and they called the guardia civil. My husband pushed the girlfriends hand and now they are suing us to court and saying to pay 26123,90 for his work and 2645,24 for materials including his guard dog. My husband is nearly 80 yrs old and now he is suck and has a deep depression.
Did you have any luck or update in your case?
Regards,
