Know that when it comes to renting in Spain, tenancy agreements can be both verbal and written. However, for the sake of protecting your rights as a tenant, and as a foreign national, insist on having everything in writing.
This way, you will get to fully understand the content of the contract. Also, in case you need help translating or understanding some parts of it, you can ask either your institution or other legal bodies for help.
Common tenancy agreements for students can last at least 12 months, which tenants can renew annually. Long-term contracts, on the other hand, last at least three years.
In some cases, if the student will only be staying in Spain for less than a year, they can opt for a short-term lease. However, this is not usual—thus, students may have to show proof they are only staying for a short time so landlords may allow this.
