Landlords in Navarre are legally required to deposit this bond with the Tax Agency of Navarre. 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
