Alquiler de temporada
Seasonal let · Temporary let · Mid-term rental · Vivienda temporal
A let of a home for a temporary need, such as work or studies, rather than as the tenant's permanent residence.
Traditionally it fell outside the LAU's minimum duration. Since 8 October 2026, Real Decreto-ley 29/2026 treats it as a ‘temporary housing’ lease: the contract must state a real, provable temporary reason, last more than 31 days and generally no more than 12 months. Without a genuine reason it is treated as an ordinary tenancy. The decree was pending confirmation by Congress as of 16 October 2026.
Stays of up to 30 nights fall under the tourist rules instead; see tourist rental licences.
