Seasonal rental is a very useful legal tool… if used correctly. We draft contracts with a justified seasonal cause so you avoid penalties and legal fraud.
The key to a valid seasonal rental lies in the cause and the drafting. We help you do it correctly, without dangerous shortcuts.
We document the real reason for the temporality (studies, work, relocation) and add the evidence to the contract so it withstands any inspection.
We explain which arrangement applies to your case and its legal, tax and licensing implications, so you don't incur infringements.
Every seasonal contract is drafted to fit the specific case. No templates: we document the cause, set the duration and strengthen the clauses so the transaction is solid before the authorities.
I want a seasonal contractWe draft a solid seasonal contract for you, compliant with Barcelona's regulations.
A seasonal rental is intended for a temporary, justified need of the tenant (studies, work, medical treatment), not their permanent residence. It is governed by the contract terms and the LAU as a use other than housing, without the mandatory extensions of up to 5 years.
Because if there is no real, documented seasonal cause, the authorities or a judge may consider it a disguised primary-residence rental, with the legal and financial consequences that entails, especially in Barcelona.
No. A tourist rental requires a licence and is governed by specific regulations. The seasonal one covers medium stays (months) for specific reasons. Confusing them can lead to serious penalties; we help you use the correct arrangement.
Not fraudulently. What we do is correctly structure transactions that are genuinely temporary, documenting the cause so the contract is valid and withstands an inspection.
