Real estate mobbing
 | This article may be confusing or unclear to readers. (August 2016) |
Real estate mobbing, also known as property mobbing, is the use of mobbing techniques to constructively or forcibly evict a legal resident or owner from his or her dwelling. Real estate mobbing is a technique used by real estate speculators and the sometimes euphemistically named "tenant locators" to move residents from dwellings or off of lots that developers and speculators want.
The United Nations recognized real estate mobbing as a worldwide cause of forced eviction.[1] Amnesty International deems real estate mobbing to be a violation of human rights.[2]
Real estate mobbing is acknowledged as a problem in Europe and particularly in Spain. It is associated with real estate speculation and rapid gentrification.
