Property for rent in Spain

In point five of our previous blog post (Renting in Spain? Five clauses you should be mindful of), we discussed how some devious landlords in Spain, after a lease is over, like to pocket a tenant’s one-month deposit and do not hand it back, giving all sorts of lame excuses.

The centre-left PSOE party has won the Spanish general election with 123 seats. If they combine with the far-left Unidas Podemos (42), they will have 165 seats in parliament but won’t reach an absolute majority (176), so they will need the support of other parties to govern.

Spain has recently amended its rental laws in March 2019, in most cases to the detriment of landlords, creating serious legal obligations that landlords should be acutely aware of.

Clear and simple language is important, but it should be a complete text, so it is always advisable to have it writ
