I got a Whatsapp message from my tenants where they say they left my flat today (same day notice, total violation of the contract plus they lived last month on deposit). Our contract expires december 11, in 1 month. However, they reject to return the keys and gave me an ultimatum: if I don't return 300 euros left from the deposit they gave for electricity bills and pay them for some unauthorised repairs which they claim they did, I wil have to get them out of the flat via courts. They gave me 3 days to transfer them the money, otherwise I will have to deal with occupas.
They know that I live abroad and cannot come right away, and I do not intend to send the money without being sure I can get the keys and without seeing the condition of the flat. Plus they owe money for electricity bills and gave me same day notice instead of 2 months stipulated by our rental contract.
My question is: can I enter my flat now after this whatsapp notice or we need to sign a formal document RESOLUCIÓN CONTRATO DE ALQUILER since they left before expiration of the contract?
If they reject to pay next mont's rent and sign RESOLUCIÓN CONTRATO DE ALQUILER, will I still be able to enter the flat after our contract expires on December 22?
Can a Whatsapp message be actually considered as a leave notice in Spain giving the right to the landlord to enter the flat?
It is very confusing, but I would like to understand the system, nobody wants to be arrested for entering her own property
Thank you for sharing!
