Four Illegal Occupation Attempts Thwarted in Central Xàtiva Building

Police are examining whether legal tenants helped identify vacant flats.

Overview

  • Residents reported four entries or attempts in the Alameda/Av. Jaume I block on September 1, and Policía Nacional interventions recovered the affected flats the same day.
  • One man who had entered a unit filed a complaint after finding the lock changed, then signed a police‑witnessed agreement to withdraw claims and retrieve his belongings.
  • Owners and the administrator documented forced or replaced locks, a refrigerator moved from a rented unit to another flat, and an illegal power hookup.
  • Neighbors and managers suspect legally contracted tenants may have scouted or funneled vacant homes to others, a possibility now being probed by authorities.
  • The dispute has moved into local politics as the PP demands an anti‑occupation plan and the governing coalition cites swift police action and reports two detentions, while residents add alarms and tighten building access.
