Sources from the Junta de Castilla y León consulted by eldiario.es explain that the activity focuses on prevention and in most cases are assumptions of “inquiocupation”, which indicate occurs when “the lessee pays the bond and the bail and the first monthly payment and disregard any other type of subsequent payment. ” Regarding cases of police intervention, there is some but “very few” and without the intervention of the corresponding urban property chamber being decisive.
The Housing Ministry also defends that they are available to people who illegally occupy a home to know “if it is for a situation of vulnerability or if they respond to criminal practices.” However, this possibility does not appear on the website and the ‘anti -occupation offices’ section is aimed exclusively at the owners who fear or suffer the occupation of one of their homes.
These anti -ocupation offices began their operation on June 8, 2023 and were one of the main pillars of the PP-Vox coalition pact: “Defend private property, especially fighting the criminal phenomenon of occupation and offering free advice to the victims of This fact ”. The Popular Party already carried it in its program: to implement “measures to fight against housing” such as “advice to the victim” to “guarantee the maintenance, possession and enjoyment of a home against illegal usurpations.”
The Junta de Castilla y León explained that this measure aims to inform about the illegal occupation of housing, offer advice in relation to prevention, immediate action and, where appropriate, the measures to be followed in situations of illegal occupation ongoing. Through the website of the Junta de Castilla y León, questions and answers are available on how to prevent occupation and what to do in case of facing this situation.
