Hi

It was great to see  both your postings on the website. However, we are confused as to which is most applicable for our soon-to-be tenants (i.e. short or long term).

We were looking for something similar to the UK AST contract where it is renewed every 6 months. Hopefully our future tenants will stay for a couple of years or so, but we both need the flexibility. Could you please advise under what circumstances each contract is us? Is it usual to review the rent, and how often?

We've recently sacked our management company, so are venturing out alone for the first time. We need to keep things simple, so any advice you can give would be most appreciated.

Hi RandD,

Morerosado, who originally posted this contract is currently enjoying a well earned retirement with her husband!  I'm sure she will be back visiting soon, but in the interim, maybe I could advise (as I know she would herself after reading your post) that you should consult a professional about letting your property.  If you don't want to use the services of an agent, then maybe you could use the one-off services of a Spanish solicitor to advise you on this.  The laws in Spain are different from the UK and you really need to check this out.

If you read back through the long and short-term rental threads you will find there are laws about tenants staying more than eleven months, etc., etc.  You are better to get yourselves covered, legally, than find yourselves in a position where you have tenants, who know their rights, and you find yourselves without rent two years down the line because they know more than you do.
