Tema: Eviction · Ver todas las guías
Eviction for non-payment of rent in Panama (lanzamiento por mora) is a distinct legal process from removing a trespasser, governed by Law 93 of 1973 and heard by the Ministry of Housing's Rental Commissions. This guide explains the two-month non-payment threshold, the tenant's right to stop the case by paying what's owed, and the hardship defense available to residential tenants.
When someone occupies your property in Panama with no lease and no legal right to be there — a squatter, a holdover after a relationship ended, an outright intruder — the applicable process is lanzamiento por intruso, legally and procedurally distinct from evicting a tenant who stopped paying rent. This guide explains why the distinction matters and why speed is critical.
