Frequently Asked Questions about Renting with Let’s Live Barcelona

1. What are medium and long-term stays?

Rather than medium and long-term stays, we consider them “short-term rentals/stays” and “long-term or regular rentals.” There is also “tourist rentals.”

  • Short-term rentals: This is what we offer at Let’s Live Barcelona. The minimum contract is 32 days, intended for stays for work, studies, health reasons, home renovations, temporary relocation, vacations, etc. The duration is flexible; it can last as long as the client needs, as long as it is temporary and justified. Stays can range from two months to years, provided there is justification. It cannot be a primary residence.
  • Long-term rentals: We do not offer this. This contract is intended for the tenant to establish permanent residence. Minimum duration is 5 years.
  • Tourist rentals: We do not offer this. This is a contract for days or weeks, solely for vacation purposes and typically managed with high guest turnover.

2. Why can’t I rent for less than a month?

In our apartments, we only offer seasonal rentals with stays of 32 days or more, as required by current rental regulations. Rentals of less than one month are legally considered tourist rentals, regardless of the contract name or the tenant’s intentions. According to the tourism regulations of the different autonomous communities, any stay for days or weeks, intended for leisure or with a rotating of guests, must be managed as tourist accommodation (VUT) and requires a specific license, inspections, and additional obligations.

Seasonal rentals, on the other hand, are intended for temporary stays, such as work trips, studies, home renovations, or specific personal reasons. This type of contract is governed by the Urban Leases Law and must have a duration of more than 32 days to clearly distinguish it from tourist rentals.

For this reason, and to strictly comply with regulations, we do not offer reservations by the day or week. All our stays are monthly, thus guaranteeing a safe, legal service tailored to the real needs of those seeking temporary accommodation in the city.

3. What is the maximum stay with Let’s Live Barcelona?

We don’t have a set maximum stay. You can stay with us for several months, or even longer, as long as there is a temporary and justified reason, as required by seasonal rental regulations.

This type of contract is designed for non-permanent stays related to:
