Urban Rental Law

We regularly receive questions about renting (or leasing) in Spain and the associated rights.

This can be about renting a property or business premises. We also often deal with renting and subletting residential property. Rental legislation in Spain is of course different from other countries. Although the legislation has changed a lot in recent years, there are still some “old” elements to consider.

To rent a house in Spain as a foreigner, you need a NIE (Foreigner Identity Number). This is also required for Erasmus students staying in Spain temporarily. We will be happy to help you apply for an NIE.

For non-permanent rentals, there are different rules, so it is necessary to investigate whether non-permanent rentals require a special permit.

When renting a house for a period of less than a month, a tourist permit is often required. It should be noted that many cities, including Barcelona, currently no longer issue these permits. Fines for non-compliance range from €10,000 to €70,000.

OTIS Legal Group’s lawyers can advise you on this complex matter.
