A common misconception that people don't seem to get (and that most news outlets conveniently forget to report), it's that if someone enters your primary or even second residence, that isn't considered Okupacion, it's considered "Allanamiento de morada" (breaking and entering). Even if you were on vacation for a month.

If that happens you call the police and they'll kick them out in 24 hours max.

And that applies to a rental property that is the renters only home but the landlords 200th property?

Yes it does. It would be the renters primary residence, so it's "Allanamiento de Morada". (Breaking and entering).

Now if the current renter can't afford to keep paying rent and decides to occupy the property, that's considered Okupación. And that process does take longer.

So it only applies to your third house? Seems a bit strange.

Secondary residence here doesn't mean your 2nd house as opposed to the 3rd, it means a vacation home (ie a place you own for your own use, even if it's not you main residence. As opposed to a rental property)

It's not just that.

Morada is any property that you live, use to live or use to do private activities in it.

If you used at least once a year or so, then is morada. Like if it was your primary house.

If you have a semi demolished house, or unused house during years, then clearly is it not a morada. That's the difference.
