If you are at risk of losing your home due to not being able to pay your rent or mortgage, you should know that there are some legal options to avoid or delay eviction .
From LGV Legal , lawyers specializing in civil law with offices in Lugo, Ourense and Madrid, we explain in this article what these possibilities are and how to access them.
What to do in the event of a foreseeable eviction?
As lawyers with experience in eviction procedures , the first thing we recommend is to contact your landlord or bank and explain your financial situation. You may be offered a solution, such as a moratorium, partial debt forgiveness, dation in payment or social rent. These measures depend on the will of the other party , but you lose nothing by trying.
If you cannot reach an agreement, you should go to the social services of your town hall or autonomous community and request help. There are assistance programs for people in vulnerable situations that can provide legal advice , financial aid or housing alternatives.
Finally, if you receive a judicial notification of the start of the eviction process, do not ignore it and submit a written opposition within the indicated period. You can allege the reasons that prevent you from paying and attach the documents that prove your situation. The judge can suspend the eviction if he considers that there are sufficient reasons for it.
How can a lawyer help you with an eviction?
In our law firm in Lugo and Ourense we are specialized in eviction procedures , so we invite you to contact us to help you with this serious problem. In your defense we will act from several fronts:

- We will request, if appropriate, precautionary measures to suspend the eviction until the trial is resolved.
- We can negotiate on your behalf with your landlord an out-of-court settlement that allows you to stay in the home, reduce the debt, or defer payment.
