Do you need a burofax to claim unpaid rent?
For the 30-day demand the law asks for a reliable means (medio fehaciente): one that proves delivery and what the letter said. That is why landlords use a burofax with certified content or a notary.
A carta certificada (Spanish registered letter) proves delivery, the date and a signature, not the text. Use it for the first reminder and to propose a payment plan: it proves the tenant received it, and when. See what each one proves.
What does each letter do?
| Letter | Effect |
|---|---|
| Reminder by carta certificada | Proves the tenant knew about the debt, and when |
| Reliable demand | At least 30 days before the claim: if unpaid, the tenant cannot stop the eviction by paying |
| Proposal to settle | No reply within 30 calendar days ends the required negotiation attempt |
| Tenant in financial hardship | Since October 2026 the authorities can pay the debt and halt the case |
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.

Sample text in Spanish: reminder and proposal
For the 30-day demand, send this text by certified burofax.
[Nombre y apellidos o razón social del arrendador], [documento de identidad o número fiscal]

A la atención de [nombre del inquilino]

[Lugar y fecha]
Asunto: requerimiento de pago de rentas
Estimado/a [nombre]:
Le requiero el pago de las rentas pendientes del contrato de arrendamiento de la vivienda situada en [dirección]: [meses e importes], en total [importe total].
Le ruego que las ingrese en la cuenta [número de cuenta] antes del [fecha]. Si no es posible, le propongo hablar de un plan de pagos. Si no recibo el pago ni una respuesta, presentaré una demanda de desahucio y de reclamación de rentas.
Atentamente,

What should you know before suing?
- If the tenant already stopped an earlier eviction by paying, they cannot do so again, unless payment failed through your fault.
- Most civil claims require an attempt to negotiate first, with proof the tenant received your proposal and could read it. Put it in the same certified burofax as the demand and one letter covers both.
- If the tenant proves financial hardship, the authorities have two months to offer housing or pay the debt. 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 An earlier text was repealed in September: on the day you send, check the version in force in the BOE, Spain's official gazette.
Frequently asked questions
Must a Spanish rent demand go by burofax?
For the 30-day demand the law asks for a reliable means. A burofax with certified content or a notary meets it.
Is a carta certificada enough?
It proves delivery and the date, not the text. It suits the reminder and the proposal to settle.
What does the landlord gain from the demand?
If the tenant has not paid when the claim is filed, they can no longer stop the eviction by paying in court.
Do I need to negotiate before suing?
Yes, for most civil claims. The same letter can demand payment and propose an agreement.
What if the tenant does not reply?
30 calendar days after receiving your proposal, the negotiation counts as ended without agreement.
