Legel tip 249. Legals on rentals . Part I
Monday, March 29, 2010 @ 1:26 PM
The property rental contract is a written agreement which basically needs to contain:
- Identity data of both landlord and tenant
- Description of the property
- Renting time period
- Permanent or temporary use of the house
- Any other pertinent clauses
There is no legal prescription of any particular format or sort of document: any kind of written document is valid as far as the mutual agreement of the parties is enough as the “cause" of the renting rights.
There is an official form contract which is sold at any tobacconists in Spain. The rental contract can also be done before a Notary Public (on a public deed) in order to have it registered in the Land Registry, this way your tenant/landlord position can be opposed against third parties. Not very frequent though.
The most common way is to write an ordinary private document on plain paper.
To be continued tomorrow with Part II: rental period
