Key aspects of rental agreements in Spain

  • Contract duration & renewals – The duration of residential leases can be freely agreed upon by the parties. However, if the initial term is less than five years (or seven years if the landlord is a legal entity), the lease will automatically renew annually until reaching these minimum periods unless agreed otherwise.
  • Security Deposits – A deposit equivalent to one month's rent for residential properties is required by law, with additional guarantees often requested.
  • Tenant & landlord rights – Both parties have defined rights and obligations, including maintenance responsibilities and grounds for contract termination.
  • Rent increases & updates – Rent adjustments must follow legal guidelines, often linked to inflation indices.
  • Early termination & extensions – Tenants can terminate a lease early under specific conditions, and renewal options may be available depending on the contract terms.
