In Murcia, security deposits (fianzas) are heavily regulated. Under Article 36 of the LAU, a landlord must require a security deposit equivalent to one month's rent for residential leases.

Collect Deposit
Collect the security deposit (up to 1 Month’s Rent (Residential); 2 Months (Commercial)) before the tenant takes possession.

Create a move-in condition report signed by both landlord and tenant.
Hold During Tenancy
Keep the deposit in a designated or legally required account.
Return or Claim
Return within 30 Days After Tenancy End after tenancy end, with written justification for any deductions.
Landlords in Murcia are legally required to deposit this bond with the Directorate General of Housing of Murcia. Failure to register the deposit within 30 days of signing the lease can result in severe fines and prevents the landlord from claiming certain regional tax deductions.
Additional Guarantees
In addition to the mandatory one-month fianza, landlords can ask for an "additional guarantee" (garantía adicional). Under the LAU, this is capped at a maximum of two months' rent.
Return Deadlines
The deposit must be returned within 30 days after the keys are handed back. If it takes longer, the tenant is entitled to claim the legal interest rate on the unreturned amount. Deductions can only be made for:
- Unpaid rent or utilities
- Damage beyond normal wear and tear
