Lease & Rental Contract Review and Drafting in Spain
Lawyers who read and explain a Spanish rental contract before it is signed, or draft one, for tenants and landlords of long-term homes.
About Lease & Rental Contract Review and Drafting in Spain
A rental contract in Spain is usually written in Spanish and binds both sides for a long time. This page is about rental contract and lease agreement review: the contrato de alquiler (also called a tenancy agreement or lease), checked or drafted before signing. It covers long-term rentals of a home under the Ley de Arrendamientos Urbanos and is for tenants, landlords, expats and students who prefer a lawyer who speaks English. Seasonal and holiday lets follow other rules. Some older lists and lawyer pages call this service “Property Lease Review & Drafting”.
What a lawyer looks at
- who the parties are, the property and the duration, including renewal;
- the rent and how it can change;
- the deposit (fianza) and any extra security;
- who pays repairs, bills and community fees;
- how and when either side can end the contract.
Unfair or unclear terms can be pointed out and, if asked, raised with the other side. The lawyer can also draft a contract in English and Spanish.

Questions and answers
What is a contrato de alquiler?
The written rental contract between landlord and tenant. For a main home it is shaped by the urban leases law as well as by its own terms.
Can a lease be only in English?
A Spanish version is usual. A lawyer can explain exactly what the Spanish text says.
Do landlord and tenant use the same lawyer?
Each side normally has its own, because their interests differ.
What if I want to leave early?
It depends on the contract and the law. Notice and compensation clauses are worth checking before signing.
Can someone sign for me?
Yes, with a power of attorney.

What our clients say about our service in Spain
-
Outstanding service and a very responsive lawyer.
— Emmanouil01 Oct 2025 -
I had an excellent experience working with the lawyer on my rental contract review. From our initial contact he was remarkably responsive. During our consultation he showed a high level of professionalism, patiently clarifying crucial sections I found difficult to understand. He also offered valuable insights on points that could be added for clarity and identified key areas for negotiation. He thoroughly addressed all my questions, even following up promptly after our meeting, and his English was perfect. I would definitely recommend him for his expertise and dedication.
