Crisis in the rental market. Prices for clouds and the shortage of supply are the main challenges facing all those who want to become tenants. “This lack of availability for traditional rental, added to the price escalation and the control that, from certain administrations, has been launched following the law of the livinga, they have led to focus on the temporary rental“, explain from the real estate portal flaos.com.

HeSeasonal rental is one that does not have as its purpose the usual housing of the tenant and is intended to cover the need for a property for a specific time of less than one year. These are “held to exercise an industrial, commercial, artisanal, professional, recreational, care or teacher activity on the farm, whatever people are celebrating”, as established in article 3 of the Urban Lease Law (Lau).

In recent times, seasonal rental has been growing to the detriment of the permanent to avoid the restrictions that have been introduced to the latter with the Housing Law. This increase has reduced the supply of housing available for usual residencesthus contributing to the increase in rental prices

“In order to combat that fraudulent use of temporary and room rental contracts, Recently, the processing of a new law has been unlocked“explains the real estate portal. The norm aims to match them to the regulation of the usual rents, since if the lease period extends beyond nine months or two consecutive contracts are chained, The same regulations should be applied as to the traditional rental.

How can it be demonstrated that I am a usual tenant?

Many tenants will want to demonstrate that they reside in a house with a temporary rental contract but that in reality it is their habitual housing, since they can avoid possible litigation for fraudulent use of it and be entitled to certain public or similar public aid. Therefore, from the real estate portal They share a series of recommendations for this:

• Housing registration: “The municipal register is one of the most direct evidence that a person resides effectively at a given home,” they say.
• Fiscal domicile: If in the income statement the rented housing is included as the fiscal domicile, the tenant will be recorded before the Tax Agency that usually resides there.
• Supply consumption: Light, water or internet invoices are also a proof of the daily use of housing. “If these receipts are in your name and reflect constant consumptions in time, this reinforces the idea that you make a habitual use of housing,” they explain.
• Testimonies or affidavits: In the event that there are disputes, the testimonies of people who can certify that are usually lived in a home can help. You can also write your own affidavit explaining the situation -the use made of the house, reasons for permanence, etc. -.
• Duration and continuity of the contract: One of the clearest indications that housing is a habitual residence is continuity over time. Although rental contracts are signed with limited duration, if they are renewed several times, it can be demonstrated that it is a undercover habitual home.

“Temporary rent is a valid alternative within the offer of the real estate market but Its proliferation not only affects access to housing but also requires regulation capable of avoiding undercover regular lease contracts“They sentence.
