Frequently asked questions

How do I rent an apartment in Madrid as a foreigner?

Most landlords in Madrid will ask for your NIE, proof of income or a work contract, and a deposit (usually 1–2 months). Working with expat-friendly agencies or co-living operators makes the process far smoother.

What documents do I need to rent in Madrid?

Typically your passport or ID, NIE, proof of income (payslips or a work/freelance contract) and the deposit. Some landlords accept a guarantor or extra months’ rent instead of local income.

Is co-living a good option for newcomers to Madrid?

Yes — co-living and rooms are popular first steps in Madrid because they’re flexible, furnished and require less paperwork while you find your feet.
