    I’ve been told by friends from Spain that this was already like this?

    Let’s say foreigners buy a house or a flat and they use it as a summer home. Someone breaks in while you are away and then you can’t kick them out.

    Anyone from Spain can confirm if this is true?

      Yes but this is incredibly rare issue and it’s just talked about because it sounds bad. Most cases are simply people unable to pay the rent for whatever reason. Some people take advantage of the eviction bans and simply stop paying but I don’t know that the % is. Probably also tiny.
