We offer comprehensive management that lets you enjoy a hassle-free rental and get the highest return on your property. We take care of everything from start to finish: from getting the property ready and finding the tenant, through handling incidents, to recovering the property at the end of the lease. If you want to see what managing a rental involves, task by task, and how much it costs to delegate it, we explain it in this guide (in Spanish).
Rental management in Madrid and Barcelona
Rental management is the service through which Rentuos takes care of the entire lease cycle —finding a tenant, the contract, rent collection, incidents and renewal— so that the landlord never has to get involved.
What do we do to manage the rental of your flat with maximum guarantees?
Free property valuation
We carry out a free valuation so you know the optimal rental price for your property. We fine-tune this price after a personal visit to the flat.
Professional photos and property marketing
We produce a professional photo shoot and feature your flat on the most visited property portals. We promote your property so it rents faster and at the best price.
Finding and screening reliable tenants
Choosing the ideal tenant is the foundation of a safe rental, which is why we carry out thorough solvency checks, including searches of debtor registers.
Property inventory
We draw up a detailed inventory of the furniture and the condition of the property. This avoids problems when it is time to recover the property and settle the deposit.
Deposit management
We handle lodging the deposit with the relevant public body (INCASÒL, IVIMA, etc.) and claiming it back afterwards. For subsidised (public protection) housing, we take care of the required procedures and approvals.
Utility account transfers
We handle the transfer of utility accounts and calculate the first and last bills. This removes the risk of unpaid utilities without depending on the tenant and without you having to spend time on it.
Rental protection insurance
We offer rent guarantee insurance and home insurance in partnership with the country’s leading insurers, keeping the risk for landlords as low as possible.
(Anonymous) incident management
We will resolve any incident that may arise in your rental flat while keeping you anonymous to the tenant, who will never have your contact details.
The rental market in Spain, in figures
Rents in Spain keep climbing: in June 2026 the average price reached €15.3/m², 4.2% more than a year earlier and a new all-time high, according to idealista. In the city of Madrid the average rent is already €23.7/m² and in Barcelona €23.0/m², although here with a slight year-on-year drop of 3.9%. But the market has also become tougher for landlords. According to the study Situación de la Morosidad en el Alquiler en España by the Observatorio del Alquiler, rent arrears grew by 16.5% in 2025: three times the previous year’s increase. The average unpaid amount now reaches €8,489, equivalent to seven months of uncollected rent, and in Catalonia (€11,620) or Madrid (€10,420) the average debt exceeds €10,000. The same Observatory puts the national average rent at €1,184 per month. In this context, it is no surprise that more and more landlords prefer not to take on that risk alone.

Comparison: management with Rentuos vs. a traditional agency
Traditional estate agencies usually charge between 3.6% and 6.1% of the rent (VAT included) for the ongoing management of a rental (finding a tenant, the contract, rent collection and incidents). But the real difference is not just the percentage, it is what happens if the tenant stops paying.

Any questions?
What is Rentuos rental management and how does it work?
Rentuos rental management is a comprehensive service in which we carry out all the administrative, operational and legal tasks for your property on your behalf. We take care of getting the property ready, marketing it professionally with a photo shoot, thoroughly screening tenants by checking their solvency and credit history, and drafting contracts updated to the 2023 Housing Law. We also manage rent collection, deposit procedures and the resolution of any incident. The goal is for the landlord to earn a passive, secure return without needing legal knowledge or spending time on the process, while ensuring maximum protection of their rights and assets at all times.
How do you find the ideal tenant and what types of contracts do you use?
To find the ideal tenant, we market the property professionally with a photo shoot on the main property portals and carry out a thorough solvency check on every applicant, verifying income, credit history and references. This ensures a responsible tenant. As for contracts, we draft documents that are always up to date with current legislation, both for primary residences and seasonal lets. We include key protection clauses such as recovery of the property, rent updates, penalties for early termination, joint liability of guarantors and surety, ensuring solid legal backing in the event of any future incident.
What happens if the tenant doesn't pay or falls into arrears?
Under the comprehensive rental management plan, the landlord bears the risk, but with our “Guaranteed Rent” and “Full Coverage” plans we offer unlimited payment guarantee. This ensures your rent is paid on time on the 3rd of every month, even if the tenant pays late or stops paying. You will keep receiving the rent for the period set out in the service you have contracted, with no surprises or waiting periods. This protection gives you the peace of mind and financial security you need to meet other commitments, such as mortgage or loan repayments, while we legally handle debt recovery or eviction if necessary, without you having to advance any money.
Do you handle the deposit and utility transfers?
Yes, we take care of all the paperwork at the start and end of the lease. We lodge the mandatory legal deposit with the relevant regional body (such as IVIMA in Madrid or INCASÒL in Catalonia). When the contract ends, we manage its recovery and settlement with the tenant, lawfully deducting any debt or damage. In addition, for complete peace of mind, we transfer the utility accounts (water, electricity, gas) at the start and end of the lease, reading the meters and calculating the pro-rata bills. For shared building utilities, we coordinate the change of billing account directly with the property managers.
What happens if there is a problem or incident in the flat during the lease?
All our management plans include full incident management so you can relax completely, without receiving calls or emails directly from tenants, who will not even have your contact details. In the event of any breakdown, the tenant contacts us and we fix it right away. We coordinate tradespeople’s visits, handle claims with the home insurance company and liaise with the homeowners’ association if necessary. We save you time and hassle while you always stay in control of your property. We will keep you informed of any important matter, but we will never incur any cost without a prior quote and your approval.
How much does a rental management company charge in Spain?
Traditional rental management companies usually quote fees of between 3% and 5% of the rent excluding VAT, which means a final cost for the landlord of between 3.6% and 6.1% of the rent, without any payment guarantee. If the tenant doesn’t pay, the landlord bears the loss and the claims process. At Rentuos, rental management always costs €35 per month (VAT included), and plans that include guaranteed rent on the 3rd of every month start at 6% of the rent. You can see the full details on our pricing page.
How much does Rentuos rental management cost?
The price of Rentuos rental management is flexible and depends on the type of service you choose. We offer four main plans: Comprehensive Management (full administration), Guaranteed Collection, Guaranteed Management and Full Coverage (maximum protection). Each plan includes different levels of cover, from simply managing rent collection and contracts to covering flat repair costs and legal defence. Fees vary according to the level of risk you take on as a landlord.
