Looking for a rental home in Spain? We've the keys!
Once we have found your dream home

Once we have found your dream home in Spain, you will need to place a reservation deposit, with a minimum of one month rent plus the administration costs of our office, to secure the property and remove it from the market. Once the reservation deposit has been placed, we will make an appointment with the tenant and the landlord to sign the official tenancy agreement. After you have signed the tenancy agreement and all the (remaining) costs are paid, we will deliver you the keys of your new home in Spain.

What kind of costs must I pay?

A returnable deposit (the exact amount is mentioned at the home description) must be given at the signing of the tenancy agreement, which will be held by the landlord and refunded at the end of the contract period, assuming that the property has been left in the same condition as it was found and there are no pending utility bills or missing items from the inventory. The rent must be paid the monthly rent upfront at the beginning of each month directly into the landlord's Spanish bank account. You need to take in consideration that, by signing the rental agreement or reservation contract, you need to pay also an once-only fee of 3% of the yearly rent (plus VAT) regarding the costs for the PNAG, administration and rental services. In cases of, for example, no or no clearly income, the landlord has the right to raise the mentioned deposit.

What kind of documents should I submit?

Before we can make a tenancy or reservation agreement, you need to take in consideration that you need to submit your passport (we will make a copy), your N.I.E. number (we can arrange it for you if you don't have one) and a Spanish bank account number, so that we can arrange a direct debit of the utility bills. Further we do need a telephone number in Spain where we can contact you.

Utilities and community fees

All utility bills are to be paid by the tenant by direct debit. AlbiRent Alquileres will make sure that the payment bank details are changed into the tenant’s account with the utility companies (electricity, water, gas, rubbish tax, etc.). Community fees and council are always paid by the landlord.

Pet owners

In the event of a tenant being a pet owner, please contact AlbiRent Alquileres in order to check suitable properties which accept pets. Of course big dogs aren't allowed in small apartments.

“Trying out a new home”
We regularly get the request if they may try out a home for a short period of time. If then they are pleased with the home they would like to rent it for a long period of time. Although we understand that it is difficult, especially if you are moving to Spain, coming from a foreign country and wanting to first explore the new home and environment, we can not agree with this. In the first place it is that we noticed that there is a mayor interest in a property in the traditional holiday period. Often looking for a affordable holiday home. This is nothing new to us. In the second place, you pay at our office as a tenant of a house no commission, but commission will be charged by our client, the landlord. Only because we have a lease of at least 12 months in the run that landlords are willing to go in our way and we can continue to operate without a committee to ask the tenant.

Termination of lease
As a tenant you have agreed a rental period that is normally 12 months. The lease is automatically and always with the same period lengthens, with that knowledge after the first 12 months you can terminate the lease, where a notice of 2 months in advance to take. Termination of a lease should be made in writing via electronic mail, or verbally at our office, and a certificate of termination is made. A rental agreement is then terminated if you receive a certificate of termination of our office or the landlord.
