Depósitos

Expect to pay several items up front when signing: a security deposit, key money (a non-refundable payment to the landlord), an agency fee, damage insurance, the first rent and a common-service fee. Amounts vary by property, so ask before applying. (fuente, 2026)

Alquiler para extranjeros

Landlords commonly ask for a personal guarantor or for the tenant to use a rental guarantee company. The government lists rentals that accept foreign tenants through its safety-net housing search. (fuente, 2026)

Registro de tu dirección

Foreign mid- to long-term residents are entered in the Basic Resident Registration and must file a move-in notification with their new municipal office when they move (and a move-out notification with the old one). (fuente, 2026-10)
