There is a special procedure applicable to the prior licensing control regarding buildings that were built at least 30 years ago and that show high levels of deterioration. According to this procedure, the execution of works in such buildings does not require a construction license, usually a bureaucratic process, being that a prior formal communication to the competent entity is requirement enough to allow the works to commence. In case the property is leased, and the landlord intends to carry out refurbishment works or deep restoration, in most situations, and as stated above, the landlord is entitled to terminate the lease agreement, without having to resort to
court, and to obtain the release of the leased property, provided that he relocates the tenant or, alternatively, awards the tenant with the legally foreseen compensation.
