I'm from the UK and I have a NIE and social security number in Spain, therefore I am perfectly 'legal'. So yes, of course I now want to register on the Padron.

It seems like my landlady doesn't want the authorities to know that she has 5 tenants. We each pay her cash and none of us have a legal, official rental contract.

I think you've misunderstood my initial question. I do not have a legal rental contract; as you said, many renters don't in Spain. Without this document, the only way I can prove I am a resident here is if my landlady comes with me to confirm that I am living with her. She takes care of all the bills, and so I do not have any 'official' proof of my residence here.

Maria, I don't have an official rental contract, this is the problem.

John, my landlady does not want to give me the Empadronamiento because she is clearly not paying her taxes (hence why I don't have a rental contract). I have a Numero de Indentificación de Extranjero (NIE). Different from Residencia.

Hi,
I've recently moved to Madrid from the UK and will start work next week. I've found a flat and have got my NIE and social security number. Next thing I want to get is my Tarjeta Sanitaria, for which I need the Empadronamiento. However, I'm in a shared flat and I don't have an official rental contract. I asked my landlady but she won't come with me to sign that I'm a resident at her place, and she's telling me that I don't need the Empadronamiento. Is it absolutely essential that I get the Empadronamiento and the Tarjeta Sanitaria? I don't want to lose my fianza but I'll be in Madrid for at least a year, and I'll be paying Social Security so I want to be able to access the things I'm entitled to. Sorry for the long post, any advice would be appreciated!
