Civil Law Lawyers in Barcelona

Civil law is the branch of law that governs relationships between individuals, as well as property relations. The rules of civil law are contained in the Civil Code.

Therefore, all relationships that individuals have with others, or with the State, are regulated by the Civil Code.

To determine if compensation can be claimed for a fall suffered in a private establishment, each case must be studied individually.

Therefore, those who suffer a fall in a business or private space do well to take photographs of the place where they stumbled, or have witnesses.

If the reason for the fall was the responsibility of the premises due to poor care, poor security or lack of maintenance, it is possible to make a claim. In any case, contact us to study your case individually.

Yes . The Civil Code states that rent payments must be of a "certain" price. However, this does not mean it has to be a monetary amount. In fact, if both parties agree, it is possible to pay rent for a dwelling through goods or services , for example.

Furthermore, if the tenant makes a renovation to the home, this same renovation can replace the monetary payment of the rent. Of course, in any case, it is necessary that both parties (landlord and tenant) agree.

When there is a rental agreement for a home, the responsibility to prove that payment has been made lies with the tenant.

To do this, the tenant has the right to request from the landlord proof or a receipt that, in fact, the payment has been made correctly.

The law states that at least three months must have passed since the marriage took place.

However, there is an exception . If the spouse seeking a divorce can prove that there is a risk to their life, liberty, physical or moral integrity, or sexual freedom and safety, or that of their children, the divorce can be carried out without regard to the three-month waiting period.

When drafting the rental contract for the home, you can freely establish the different conditions under which the rent must be paid.

However, if no agreement has been established between the parties in the contract, payment must be made according to the following rules :

• Payment will be made monthly.
• The deadline to pay the rent for the home will end on the 7th of the month.
• The tenant may not be required to pay more than one month's rent in advance.
• Payment will be made in cash and the place of delivery will be the rented home.
• If payment is made in cash and not by another means, such as a bank account, the owner is obliged to provide a receipt.

From time to time it happens that the rental contract ends on a day, such as the last day of the month; and the tenant leaves the house a few days later.

In that case, unless otherwise agreed, the landlord has the right to charge the tenant the proportional part for the extra days that he will have the property.

No. According to article 620 of the Penal Code, even if the tenant does not pay the rent, the landlord cannot cut off supplies, such as water or electricity, to exert coercion.

It is also not possible to stop paying utility bills. If the tenant has stopped paying for utilities or rent, the landlord is responsible for covering these costs.

To terminate the contract and request the eviction of a tenant from the property they rent, it is only necessary that they fail to pay the monthly rent once .

Having a lawyer to resolve a problem such as that of a tenant who has left monthly payments unpaid is always advisable. It will be highly recommended to have a law firm specialized in civil law and evictions like Vosseler.

In fact, when a tenant owes more than €2000, it is mandatory to have a lawyer and a court agent to process the eviction. And, although legal representation is not essential when the amounts owed are lower, it is, as we have seen, highly recommended.

No. Even if eviction proceedings have begun, they will not be effective until a judge has issued a court order. Therefore, the landlord cannot cut off these services or stop paying for them if they are in their name.

To file an eviction lawsuit against a tenant, you will need a copy of the property deed for the property where the tenant is living. In addition, you will need the rental agreement , and it is advisable to also include the following additional documents:

• Un bank account statement in which the rent was deposited, or a certificate from the bank indicating all the payments that the tenant has made to said account of the owner.
• All prior notifications that have been made to request payment of monthly payments that have not been paid. In this case, it does not matter what means by which these notifications were sent, but it is highly recommended that they be demonstrable in order to be able to present them (emails, burofax, etc.)

No. It is sufficient for one of the homeowners to file the lawsuit, as well as to appear at the hearings, the trial, and the entire process.
