Renting an apartment in Spain can be relatively easy, but requirements may vary depending on the owner or real estate agency. To rent long-term as a tourist, the following documents are usually requested:
Valid passport or identification document.
Proof of stable income or possibly a letter of guarantee.
Personal or work references.
Security deposit, which is generally equal to one month’s rent.
The average rental price in Spain can vary depending on the location, size and characteristics of the apartment. In metropolitan areas and major cities, prices are typically higher than in rural areas. In general, the rent can range between 600 and 1500 euros per month, depending on these factors.
