Maybe you are the owner of a Spanish property, renting it out, or someone looking for a place to live as a tenant. It’s important that your interests are protected with a Rental Contract, especially since many of the existing Spanish tenancy laws have been updated.
The contract should be clear, simple and ideally drawn up by a qualified lawyer. A Rental Contract will typically set out:
- Names of both parties
- Address of the rental property
- Term of the lease, arrangements for lease extensions, notice period and exiting the contract.
- Rental deposit
- Rental charge, payment schedules and payment method
- Itemised list of costs and expenses and by which party they are to be borne e.g. utility bills, property insurance, rubbish collection tax and IBI tax (like Council tax)
- Upkeep and maintenance and the responsibilities of both parties.
The advantage of using a lawyer to draft the agreement is peace of mind that the contract will be binding in the unlikely event of a dispute.
