Long term rental Marbella

Length, contract and use. A long-term rental in Marbella means a monthly contract, usually for six to twelve months and renewable, in a home the tenant uses as a residence. A holiday let is booked by the day or the week, is regulated differently and is taxed differently. Everything on this page is managed in the first format: if you are after a short stay, this is not the place.

Most of the stock is on the Golden Mile and in Nueva Andalucía, Puerto Banús and Sierra Blanca, and it extends into the gated developments of Benahavís. They are not interchangeable: the Golden Mile and Puerto Banús are the most central and the most expensive, Nueva Andalucía sits beside the golf courses, and Sierra Blanca and Benahavís are elevated, with more space and more privacy. Decide whether you want to walk to the seafront or be ten minutes away by car before you compare.

Contracts are usually for six to twelve months, renewable by agreement between both sides. Some landlords prefer a one-year minimum; others accept six months if the profile fits. We tell you the exact terms of each property before the viewing, so you do not waste time on the ones that do not work for you.

Identification, proof of income or means, the legal deposit and an additional guarantee that depends on the amount and the length of the contract. In this segment the guarantee is usually higher than in the ordinary residential market, and some landlords ask for references. We tell you exactly what each one requires before you view anything.

Yes. You need an NIE and a Spanish bank account for the direct debits, and in some cases a bank guarantee or an advance payment instead of proof of income. A good share of long-term rental in Marbella is signed this way, and we guide you through the whole process, remotely too.
