Room to rent in Barcelona

Barcelona is a student city with around 200,000 young people from all over the world who come there each year. These international students often choose to look for a room to rent in Barcelona in order to share the costs with others and to have a multicultural experience.

Sharing a flat in Barcelona will allow you to have your own room and to share the common areas of the apartment (living room, kitchen, bathroom).

If the person who rents you the room is not the owner (that is to say, it is he who rents the apartment and wants to rent one of his rooms), he must have the written consent of the owner .

The price to be paid for the room can never be higher than that corresponding to the tenant for the total rental of the rented accommodation.

You have the right to require that the formalization of the contract be done in writing, which is recommended in case the person who hires you requests a security deposit, and to try that this deposit is registered.
