The state does not protect you from ocupas settlement, regardless of whether you are a resident or not. There are different ways to protect against ocupas, and do not forget that a lot of housing on the coast is used by the Spaniards themselves only in the summer and these apartments are not occupied by ocupas. Yes, there is a problem, but not every empty apartment in Spain has a paycheck.

Good afternoon, this is a difficult question. Rather, it belongs to the competence of the complex's management company. In general, there is a tendency for real estate buyers to either live in or rent out purchased real estate. No one is immune from the risk that an empty apartment will be rented out for a long time. Or it may be sealed. A lot depends on the management contract, if there is one.
