Do you have to give notice by carta certificada or burofax?
No. Spanish law sets no form for the notice. What counts is that you can prove the landlord received it, and when.
A carta certificada records delivery with a date and signature. If you expect the landlord to dispute what the letter said, use a burofax with certified content: see what each one proves.
A WhatsApp message or an email only helps if the landlord replies and confirms it in writing.
How much notice do you have to give?
| Your situation | Notice |
|---|---|
| You leave before the contract ends | 30 days, once six months have passed |
| You do not renew within the first five years (seven if the landlord is a company) | 30 days before the contract or the yearly extension ends |
| You do not renew once those five or seven years are up | Two months before the end date |
| Temporary rental (for work, study or another temporary reason) | Ten days, once one month has passed |
Upload it at least 7 working days before the deadline: we hand it to the post within 2 working days, and delivery takes 2 to 5 business days.

What should you check before sending it?
- That six months have passed since signing. If not, agree the move-out with the landlord in writing.
- Whether your contract sets a penalty for leaving early: since 8 October 2026 the law says this notice gives the landlord no right to compensation. The October 2026 rental rules come from decree-laws that the Spanish parliament still has to ratify. An earlier text was repealed in September: on the day you send, check the version in force in the BOE, Spain's official gazette.
- On handover day, both sign a note on the state of the home. Without one, the home counts as returned in good condition, which makes it easier to reclaim your deposit.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to send the notice by burofax?
No. A carta certificada proves the delivery date with a signature. A burofax with certified content also proves the text.
When do the 30 days start?
When the landlord receives your letter, not when you send it. Upload it at least 7 working days ahead.
Can I leave before six months?
The law gives no right to. You can agree a move-out date with the landlord and put it in writing.
Do I owe the landlord compensation?
Under the version in force since 8 October 2026, no. It comes from a decree-law awaiting ratification, so check the BOE on the day you send.
What if the landlord does not collect the letter?
The tracking records the delivery attempt. Keep it: it shows you tried to give notice on time at the landlord's address.
Can I send it from outside Spain?
Yes. You upload the PDF from any country, and we print it and hand it to the post in Spain.
