Rental deposits in Barcelona

9 years ago
Hi:

I have come across a few adverts for rental properties in Barcelona and they state that when renting a property the lessee is expected to pay: 2 months deposit + 1st month in advance + agent commission as a rental = 4 rentals in total as the deposit

That seems excessive. I have heard of up to three rentals as part of a deposit lump sum in many countries, but is it as many as four in Spain? Is this normal practice? And how can they justify the lessee being the one to pay agent's commission - surely that is for the landlord to pay??

I would like to know, so please do advise if this is so.

Much appreciated. :)
