You don’t need for it to happen a lot for it to be a problem. It just needs to be common enough.
It only needs to happen once in a town, the next day of the news breaking, the home security guys make bank by selling home alarms. Because once they’re in for a relatively short period of time, it’s basically impossible to throw them out. So it’s worth it to pay a subscription in order to go on vacation and have the assurance that you’ll have a home when you come back.
A single instance of a break in generates millions of economic damage on just alarm subscriptions.
That being said. It’s a different problem.
It’s not the same kicking a person from a home they’ve been legally living in for years, and kicking someone that illegally broke into another person’s house for a few days.
Saw a report on TV. There are even specialized companies now who remove the occupiers. If there’s a business, it’s probably a big enough problem for the Spaniards.
Doesn’t Spain already have a problem with people invading a home and not leaving?
Not really, no. It’s a minor issue overblown by the far-right to protect interests of landlords.
Why are they sitting empty in the first place?
I’m sure the problem is overblown unless someone else has hard numbers.
