The island, loved by Poles, which is Majorca, is struggling with a more and more serious problem. I am talking about squaders, also called Ocupas, i.e. Wild, illegal tenants who take over not only apartments, but also hotel apartments. They recently appeared in the third facility. For this reason, several dozen tourists gave up arrival.
Tourists canceled the holidays in Majorca. All because of Ocupas
According to Majorcadailybulletin.com, 46 tourists from Germany She canceled her reservations at the Club Bellevue hotel in Puerto Alcudia after Ocupas appeared in it. Illegal tenants occupied one of the buildings of the complex. Guests not only gave up the selected center, but also abandoned the idea of visiting at all, and instead chose another place for holiday rest.
In connection with the situation, the hoteliers expressed the maximum concern. The more that Bellevue is the third object in which unwanted tenants appeared. In addition, they were a problem in Sol y Marparthotel in Cala Bona (fortunately the situation was solved quickly) and in Cala d’Or, where they have been since … a few years. It is important, however, that the facility has been closed for a long time. In addition, the intensified problem with illegal tenants is incorrectly received by tourists and is an anti -advertising for Majorca.
They want changes in the law. The current treats Ocupas too gently
At this moment, a decision was made to increase security in other facilities so that there were no similar events in them. In addition, hoteliers and other representatives of the tourism industry are demanding a change in regulations that are extremely mild for similar cases. As he explains Wprost.pl, in Spanish law, the burglary is when the burglar is captured in all the time or within a maximum of 48 hours from the moment of entering the apartment.
If the owners, neighbors or witnesses react quickly, the intruder will be removed by the police with the help of strength. However, if this happens later, Ocupas gain several days to show evidence confirming the right to stay in the data. While some give up, others present counterfeit papers. When it is confirmed that their stay is illegal, the case lands in a court that can issue an eviction decision. It is not possible to lead tenants by force. So you have to wait at the end of the procedures. These, in turn, last up to 11 months, which happens that Ocupas proposes the arrangement: they will be voluntarily if they receive payment for it. In the first five months of 2023, almost 7.5 thousand complaints regarding illegal occupation of property were received. Former in Majorca? We invite you to participate in the poll and commenting.
