Answer

What is the “inquiokupas” scam in Mallorca?

In Mallorca, “inquiokupas” refers to people who legally rent a villa or holiday home, move in, stop paying rent and then refuse to leave. In some cases, they also ask the owner for money to vacate the property. The tactic has become a problem for some high-value homes because eviction can take a long time.
