Other key aspects of the Tourist Rental Law in Spain:

The property’s deed holder, owner or management company can request a deposit for rentals not exceeding €250 unless explicitly stated in the contract.

The following facilities/services are considered as standard (where present) and will not provide the basis for higher charges: Upkeep, maintenance and repairs when these are within normal parameters; rubbish collection; water supply; playgrounds; swimming pools, gardens and terraces; electricity supply; community fees.

Properties must be maintained in perfect habitable conditions and must have all the services listed in the documents provided to the regional government available to clients.

Properties will have connected utilities and will be clean and well-kept for the arrival of guests.

Guests have the responsibility to respect the property itself and communal areas and to leave these in the same state as that which they were in when they arrived.

Advertisements of the property will be done in a way which meets standards for objectivity, good faith and honesty.

Tourist rental management companies must include the number which they have been assigned by the regional government in all their advertisements for properties located in the region.

An authorization document must be signed by the owner of a property and the tourist rental management company where there is such an agreement. This document will clearly state that the responsibility for compliance with Decree 92/2009 has been handed to the management company and that any lack of compliance will impact solely on the company and not the owner.

 

WHAT DO OUR CLIENTS SAY ?

We applied to Fuster-associates to obtain, as a precautionary measure, a rental licence for our flat in Spain. For this we were advised by a well-known certified real estate agent to go to Fuster & Associates. We very much enjoyed going through this process in our own language. Fuster reported immediately upon our enquiry that we would be in contact with a Dutch-speaking employee. All the activities went according to plan, the responses were answered almost immediately by the staff members. The information was given in a friendly, respectful and frank manner. It made us feel being treated fairly. We cancelled the process for personal reason and several information from Fuster and Fuster indicated that it accepted our arguments and that we would get our deposit back within a few days and this was properly handled. In other words, a company you can trust. We are therefore very satisfied with the course of action of this company and can advise anyone to work with them."
