According to official\r\nfigures (data from 2017), it is estimated that in Spain there are around 90,000\r\nillegally occupied dwellings; 23% of them are located in Barcelona.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

One of the\r\nbiggest fears when talking about squatters are so-called organized mafias,\r\nwhich are dedicated exclusively to finding and occupying homes to make a resale\r\nof the property or to demand that the owners leave them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The law states\r\nthat if the owner gives notice to the police and the police act within 48\r\nhours, the eviction can be immediately. Although if this does not work, a civil\r\ncomplaint must be made.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

How can the Noise Alarm<\/a> sonometer help you to protect your property?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We’re no longer\r\njust talking about noisy guests, but it can help you with other types of noise\r\nviolations.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A great control tool, it is our panel where you can see the sound pressure graph of the apartment.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In Roomonitor<\/strong> you can see in real time the sound pressure of your apartment and detect if there were suspicious movements in days and hours where you do not have check-in operations.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This is the case\r\nof our client Classbedroom, who were alerted by a neighbor about suspicious\r\nmovements inside their apartment.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Marcos Bosch, of Classbedroom tells us “The on-call staff moved to the apartment with a patrol and thanks to the way we were able to prove that they had entered at 2am with the Noise Data Chart, they kicked them out. If we hadn’t had a sonometer, we’d still have the squatters, they had been only two hours in the apartment.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This proves that\r\nour panel is a very valuable tool because it allows you a quick reaction to\r\nprotect the property in the moment.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you act\r\nimmediately, the police can remove the occupants without a judicial process\r\nbecause it is a flagrant crime, i.e. the occupation is occurring or just\r\noccurring and there are witnesses.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So, our\r\nmeasurement charts, they serve to demonstrate when there were unexpected\r\nmovements and to prove that it was a private property violation. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
