One tenant. One payment. Zero hassle.

You get the income and the peace of mind, while we handle the rest.

Who long-term rental is for

You don’t need a tourist license (VUT). Spanish law treats long-term, residential lets under the Ley de Arrendamientos Urbanos (LAU) — a completely different legal framework from holiday rentals. For many owners on the Costa Blanca, this route is simply more practical. Long-term management is a strong fit if you:

  • Don’t hold a tourist license

    and don’t want to begin the VUT application.

  • Can’t obtain a VUT

    because your community of owners has banned short-term rentals, or won’t issue the certificate of no objection.

  • Live abroad

    and prefer one tenant and one monthly payment over constant turnover.

  • Own a property you aren’t using

    and want steady, low-effort income instead of seasonal peaks.

  • Want a calmer alternative

    to the operational demands of Airbnb.

Our long-term rental service covers the full lifecycle of a tenancy, so you don’t have to manage anything from a distance.

What we handle

Tenant search and screening

We market your property on the main Spanish rental portals, take professional photos and handle every viewing. Moreover, we check each applicant carefully — ID, employment, references and payment history — before shortlisting candidates for your approval.

Contracts and paperwork in Spanish law

We prepare the rental contract under the Ley de Arrendamientos Urbanos, collect the deposit (fianza) and handle the legally required deposit lodgement with the regional housing authority. In addition, we take care of the inventory report and move-in checklist.

Rent collection and reporting

We collect the monthly rent, transfer it to your account and send you a clear monthly statement. Therefore, you always know what has been paid, what has been spent and what your net income looks like.

Maintenance and 24/7 support for the tenant

Our team responds to tenant requests day and night. From a leaking tap to a broken boiler, we coordinate trusted local professionals, approve invoices against your pre-agreed limits and keep your property in great condition all year round.

Utilities, community fees and property visits

We can set up or take over utility contracts (water, electricity, internet), pay community and IBI charges on your behalf and carry out scheduled inspections so small issues never become big ones.

Renewals, rent reviews and check-out

When the contract comes up for renewal, we review the market rent, negotiate with the tenant and either extend the agreement or relist the property. At check-out, we complete the inventory, return the deposit in line with Spanish law and prepare the home for its next tenant.

No VUT required

You avoid the licensing process entirely.

Predictable income

One tenant, one monthly payment, far less volatility than seasonal short-term lets.

Reduced operating cost

No dynamic pricing tools, no laundry turnarounds, no daily guest communication.

No conflict with your community of owners

Residential lets don’t require a community vote or a certificate of no objection.

Lower wear and tear

Fewer check-ins mean fewer breakages and less intensive cleaning.

Long-term rental is often the most realistic — and most profitable — option for owners who can’t, or don’t want to, operate on Airbnb.

How it works

Free property assessment

We visit (or review photos if you’re abroad), suggest a realistic monthly rent and a few small improvements that lift your listing.

Listing and tenant search

Your property goes live on the main portals; we handle every enquiry and every viewing.

Screening and approval

You see only pre-vetted candidates. You have the final say.

Contract and move-in

We prepare the contract under Spanish law, lodge the deposit and complete the inventory.

Ongoing management

We collect rent, handle maintenance and keep you updated with monthly reports.

Do I need a tourist license (VUT) to rent my property long-term in Spain?

No. A tourist license is only required for short-term, holiday-style rentals. Long-term residential leases fall under the Spanish Ley de Arrendamientos Urbanos (LAU) and do not need a VUT.

Can I rent out my apartment if my community of owners has banned short-term rentals?

Yes. A community vote against short-term tourist rentals does not affect your right to let the property long-term. Residential tenancies are protected under national law and don’t require community authorisation.

How long is a standard long-term rental contract in Spain?

Most contracts run for 12 months with a legal right of extension up to five years for individual landlords (seven years for companies), under the LAU. We tailor each contract to your situation and always explain your rights and obligations clearly.

How do you choose tenants?

We verify ID, employment status, income and prior rental references. Moreover, you always approve the final candidate before we sign — we never place a tenant without your consent.

How is the rent collected and paid to me?

We collect rent each month and transfer your share to your bank account, together with a clear statement showing income, any maintenance costs and our management fee. Therefore, your accounting stays simple, even if you live abroad.

Who handles repairs and emergencies?

We do. Our team is available 24/7 to tenants for urgent issues and coordinates trusted local professionals within your agreed spending limits. We always ask for your approval on anything above the limit you set.

What happens if the tenant stops paying or won’t leave?

We act quickly — formal notices, negotiation and, if needed, coordination with a lawyer specialised in evictions (desahucios). Good screening at the start keeps these cases rare, but we’re prepared for them.
