        <description><![CDATA[ Paint is one of the elements that most affects the appearance and overall condition of a home. However, when it’s time to repaint, one of the most common questions between landlords and tenants comes up: who has to cover the cost of painting a rental property? The answer is not always straightforward, as it depends on the reason painting is needed, the condition of the property and what the tenancy agreement states.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[ If you’re renting in Spain, especially in a flat rather than a standalone house, you’ll almost certainly hear the word <em>comunidad</em>. It refers to the<strong> 'Community of Owners' in Spain</strong>, formally called a <em>Comunidad de Propietarios</em>. Even though you’re not the owner, the comunidad can shape your day-to-day life more than you might expect.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[ Behind every room search is someone starting a new job, moving to another city, leaving home for the first time or needing to find something quickly because their current contract is ending soon.

        <description><![CDATA[ Barcelona's rental market is increasingly fragmented, making "normal" housing hard to find. According to Amat Immobiliaris' 2025 report, supply is polarising: large flats for high earners and small flats are both on the rise, whilst the most sought-after middle ground – medium-sized flats – is all but disappearing.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[ One of the first consequences of the pandemic and the state of emergency on the property market was a sharp rise in the supply of rental homes.

Buying is the alternative, but it comes with a significant financial commitment—especially with mortgage interest rates still relatively high. So, what options are available if you want to <strong>get on the property ladder in Spain this 2026</strong>? Rent-to-buy properties could be the perfect solution.]]></description>

        <title>Rental terms in Spain: a legal labyrinth for landlords and tenants</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ Understanding how long a residential lease can last in Spain is no longer straightforward – recent legal changes have made it increasingly complex. Following the Housing Rights Act, lease duration now depends on several variables, including whether the landlord is an individual or a company and whether the property is in a high-demand area. As José Ramón Zurdo explains, determining the true length of a contract requires careful analysis of each specific case.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[ Many tenants assume that leaving a flat and handing over the keys automatically ends a rental agreement. A recent ruling by the Provincial Court of Huesca shows this is not the case – the court ordered a tenant to pay €2,758 in unpaid rent, as she never formally returned possession of the property. The critical issue is not whether the tenant lived in the flat, but the lack of legal proof that the property was effectively returned to the owner.]]></description>
