Managing rental properties in Aragon requires a balanced understanding of national Spanish legislation and regional administrative requirements. The legal landscape is dominated by the Ley de Arrendamientos Urbanos (LAU) (effective 1 January 1995), which establishes the fundamental rights and obligations for both parties.
1. Statutory Durations and Extensions
Residential leases in Aragon automatically extend in favor of the tenant up to a minimum of 5 years (if the landlord is an individual) or 7 years (if the landlord is a company).
- Annual Renewals: Unless the tenant decides otherwise, the lease renews annually until the statutory period is met.
- Tacit Renewal: If neither party gives notice (4 months for landlord, 2 months for tenant) at the end of the 5/7 year period, the lease extends for up to 3 more years.
2. Security Deposit Management (DGA)
Aragon is one of the autonomous communities that strictly enforces the regional deposit of the fianza.
- The Amount: One month's rent in cash for residential housing. Additional guarantees (up to 2 months) can be negotiated but are not deposited with the DGA.
- The System: Use the Web Fianzas Aragón (WFIA) platform for all submissions and return requests.
3. Rent Control and Tense Zones
Under the Ley de Vivienda (Law 12/2023), certain areas in Aragon may be declared "Tense Zones" (Zonas Tensionadas).
- Rent Caps: In these zones, rent increases for new contracts and annual updates are subject to strict indexation caps.
- Landager Integration: Our platform automatically identifies if your property falls within a Tense Zone and provides the relevant price index data.
