FAQ Rental

1 .- What documents do I need to rent a property?

3 .- What is a guarantee?

Whether a personal or a bank guarantee, it is an extra warranty of payment.

It is an insurance that covers payment of rent if the tenant fails to pay.

Every insurance company has its specific policies and conditions, but they normally check beforehand the solvency of the tenant, job stability and income in order to ensure that you can pay the monthly rent.

5 .- Can I pay last month's rent with the money of the deposit?

The guarantee cannot be used to pay rents. The tenant must pay the last month and the landlord will return the deposit once the conditions of the property are checked and the mains bills are paid.

6 .- Do I need an inventory?

The estate agent acts as an intermediary between owners and tenants, so normally fees are paid between both parties.

8 .- What is a seasonal/holiday rental?

It is a rental agreement for a period of less than 6 months, and the property is not considered the tenant's residence.

Any period longer than six months is considered the rental of permanent residence, with the right for the tenant to renew the contract up to five years. 
 

9 .- Who should pay for home repairs?

The landlord is obliged to carry out the necessary repairs to keep the house in living conditions, as agreed, except when the damage is attributable to the tenant.

Small repairs required by the normal use of the property will be the responsibility of the tenant. 
 

10 .- What other expenses will I need to pay as a tenant, in addition to the rent?

According to law, the tenant is obliged to pay for the mains (electricity, gas, water, telephone, etc.) and small damages caused by use, plus any other caused by misuse or accident. 

However, the payment of the community fees, the IBI tax, garbage tax, etc. can be agreed with the owner. 

In some rents ALL the expenses are included in the rent to a certain limit. But be careful with this since in the Canary Islands this may be a disadvantage, as residents pay much lower rates than those paid by a non-resident owner.

Testimonials

      Buying a home in your own country can be stressfuland is problably the biggest and most expensive decision to make during your life time. We thought making such a decision in a foreing country with a different culture, lenguage and laws would be even more daunting. However, with Paloma''s vibrant personality and her excellent command of English made us feel totally at ease. We viewed the property at 4pm, signed the contract at 7.30pm the same day and flew back to the UK the following morning at 10 am. During this shart period we had agreed to spend 4 times more on a property than we had ever done before. When back in UK we arranged to give Power of Attorney to Inmo - Estate Lanzarote. This saved the cost of the family flying back to Lanzarote to sign the Escritura. When we returned to Lanzarote all the click watches canveyancing had been done and we were handed the Deeds and keys of our property. Our actual experience was totally different to what we expected. In essence all what we had to do was sign the contract, arrange Power of Attoney in England and transfer the money; everything else was taken care of by Paloma. She even arranged our NIF numbers, trasferred the utility bills into our names and introduced us to La Caixa bank. We have no hesitation in recommending Inmo - Estate Lanzarote and particularly Paloma (the boss) to anyone who is thinking of buying a property on Lanzarote. If you need any further re-assurances please do no hesitate to contact us.
