Type of contracts

The Owner will decide the type of Contract that will apply to the Accommodation, being able to choose among the following types: daily, fortnightly or monthly. 
  1. Daily:This type of contract calculates the rent in proportion to the number of days of your stay. You will pay the monthly rent for each whole month that you book, but the first and last month you will simply pay for the days that you stay. (Just like a hotel)

  1. Fortnightly: Here you pay per Half Month booked. If you move in during the second fortnight of the month, you will only be charged for the second half. If you move out within the second fortnight of the month, you will be charged the full month. Please bear in mind we calculate the first half from the 1st to the 15th of the month, and the second half from the 16th until the last day of the month.


  1. Monthly: For this contract type you will always pay for whole months, regardless of your move-in and move-out date.


  1. Regardless of the type of contract you sign, the price shown on the website corresponds with the first months' rent.

  2. The minimum reservation period made via Spotahome is for one month (30 days), except where the Owner or the Local Law may specify a longer minimum period:
    1. 30 days minimum stay: rule applicable for most cities
    2. 32 days, minimum stay: Barcelona
    3. 60 days minimum stay: Berlin
    4. 90 days minimum stay: Brussels
