Professional Property Management in Spain

Whether you own one property or several, handling contracts, repairs, payments, and legal obligations takes more than just local knowledge. At Marfour International Law Firm, we offer legal support tailored to property owners who want their real estate managed properly and in full compliance with Spanish laws. From drafting rental agreements to resolving tenant disputes, we make sure your property is protected and professionally handled.

What Can a Property Management Company in Spain Do for You?

Owning a property in Spain is rewarding, but managing it from another country or without experience in Spanish regulations can be challenging. At Marfour, we take care of everything so you can enjoy peace of mind. Whether it’s finding tenants, handling legal paperwork, or maintaining the home, we’re here to protect your investment. Here’s a detailed look at what we can do for you.

Advertising Your Property and Attracting Quality Tenants

We don’t just list your property—we actively promote it through trusted platforms and networks. Our team manages high-quality photos, property descriptions, and viewings to attract reliable tenants. We aim to reduce vacancy time and secure long-term tenants who treat your property with care.

Screening Tenants to Avoid Future Problems

Not every applicant is the right fit. That’s why we carry out thorough background checks, income verifications, and rental history reviews. We ensure your future tenants meet legal and financial standards, reducing the chances of missed rent or property damage.

Drafting Rental Contracts That Follow Spanish Law

A well-written rental contract is your legal protection. We create contracts that include all necessary terms—rental period, deposit amount, payment rules, and tenant responsibilities. These are aligned with Spanish rental regulations to protect you in any legal situation.

Collecting Rent and Managing Monthly Finances

You’ll never have to chase payments. We collect rent, track incoming payments, and send you detailed monthly reports. If a payment is delayed, we follow up promptly and handle the situation according to legal guidelines.

Handling Repairs Without You Being There

We coordinate all repair and maintenance work using our network of trusted local professionals. Whether it’s a plumbing issue or an appliance breakdown, we ensure the problem is fixed quickly—without needing your direct involvement.

Taking Care of Legal Issues and Tenant Disputes

As a law-based firm, Marfour is equipped to deal with any legal challenges that arise. From late payment notices to eviction procedures, we manage all legal aspects professionally while keeping you informed every step of the way.

Keeping Your Property in Top Condition

We conduct routine inspections to ensure your property is being respected and maintained. If tenants leave, we handle end-of-tenancy checks, deposit settlements, and prepare the home for the next rental cycle.

How Do Rental Property Management Companies Support Foreign Owners?

Owning property in Spain while living abroad sounds exciting, but it comes with its own set of challenges. Foreign property owners often worry about who will handle tenant issues, check on their property, and keep everything running legally when they’re not around. That’s where rental property management companies come in—but not all of them offer what international landlords truly need. At Marfour International Law Firm, we go beyond traditional management to offer complete legal-backed services designed especially for non-resident property owners.

We Handle Everything on the Ground While You Stay Abroad

From the moment you hand us the keys, our team at Marfour takes over the daily management of your rental property. We deal with tenant check-ins and check-outs, arrange cleaning and repairs, manage bookings, and take care of emergencies. You don’t have to worry about being physically present—we act as your trusted representative in Spain, handling everything locally on your behalf.

Legal Support Comes Built In

Standard property management companies usually don’t help when legal problems arise. But as a law firm, Marfour International Law Firm combines property management with full legal protection. We handle issues like non-paying tenants, legal notices, contract disputes, and eviction procedures through proper legal channels. Foreign landlords often find it difficult to understand or manage Spanish property laws, and we’re here to handle that entirely.

Transparent Monthly Reports and Communication

One of the biggest concerns for foreign landlords is staying updated on what’s happening with their property. At Marfour, we provide clear monthly statements, income and expense reports, and regular updates on the status of your tenants. You always know what’s going on, no matter where you are in the world.

We Manage Tourist Licenses and Long-Term Lease Laws

If your property is used as a short-term rental, Spanish law requires proper licensing and tax declarations. For long-term leases, landlord obligations differ by region. Our team ensures that all rental activity complies with local and national laws. We process licenses, register contracts, handle tax filings, and represent you in front of any Spanish authority if needed.

A Trusted Local Partner with Legal Training

At Marfour International Law Firm, our goal is to be more than just a property manager. We are your legal partner and local support team. Whether you own one apartment or a portfolio of investment properties, we make sure everything is handled professionally and legally, giving you peace of mind while you manage your life from another country.

Is Rental Property Management in Spain Legally Safe Without Help?

Many foreign landlords believe they can manage a Spanish rental property on their own or through a basic property manager—especially if everything seems fine at the start. But Spanish property laws are strict, and failing to comply can lead to heavy fines, legal disputes, or even the loss of rental rights. That’s why Marfour International Law Firm always recommends combining rental management with professional legal support, especially for non-resident owners.

Renting Without Legal Oversight Can Be Risky

Spain has complex laws around tenant rights, contracts, deposit handling, tourist licenses, and tax declarations. These rules vary by region and are updated regularly. If you’re not aware of the local legal requirements, you could accidentally violate regulations. This might result in legal action from tenants, city councils, or tax authorities. And when you’re abroad, responding to legal problems becomes even harder.

Not All Property Managers Understand the Law

Many rental property management companies focus only on bookings, maintenance, or tenant communication. They’re not trained to handle legal issues, nor are they responsible for representing landlords in court. If a tenant stops paying rent or refuses to leave the property, a standard manager can do very little. This is where a legal team makes a real difference.

Importance of Legally Drafted Contracts

Without a strong lease or tourist rental agreement written in accordance with Spanish law, your property is exposed to disputes. Generic contracts downloaded online or written by non-lawyers often leave out key protections. At Marfour International Law Firm, every rental contract we draft or review is fully compliant with Spanish legislation and designed to protect your rights as a landlord.

Handling Licenses, Taxes, and Registration

Spain requires landlords to register contracts, obtain licenses (for tourist rentals), and declare rental income. If you miss any of these steps, authorities can issue fines or revoke your right to rent. At Marfour, we don’t just advise on these legal requirements—we do the paperwork for you. That means less stress, no confusion, and full legal compliance.

You Stay Protected While Abroad

Managing your rental from another country is hard enough without worrying about legal matters. Marfour International Law Firm provides a full-service solution that combines property care with complete legal support. We make sure you meet all obligations, avoid penalties, and stay legally protected at all times—without having to fly to Spain for every issue.

What Makes Marfour Different from Other Property Management Companies?

When it comes to managing rental properties in Spain, most companies offer basic support like finding tenants, collecting rent, or handling maintenance calls. But for foreign owners, these tasks are just one part of the picture. Legal compliance, contract protection, and tax obligations matter just as much—if not more. That’s where Marfour International Law Firm stands out. We are not just a property manager—we are a legal team dedicated to foreign landlords.

Legal Experts First, Property Managers Second

Most companies in the property management field don’t have lawyers on staff. Marfour is a fully licensed international law firm based in Spain. That means every service we provide—from drafting contracts to advising on rental laws—is backed by legal professionals who specialize in Spanish real estate law. For foreign property owners, this legal oversight is not optional—it’s essential.

Tailored Services for Foreign Clients

Marfour focuses specifically on helping non-resident owners. We understand that you might not speak Spanish or be familiar with local rental regulations. Our team speaks your language, knows what international clients need, and offers services designed to keep you fully informed and protected, no matter where you are in the world.

Full Legal and Tax Compliance, Handled for You

We don’t just “advise” you—we do the legal work ourselves. That includes tenant screening, rental contract drafting, property registration, tax filing, tourist license applications, and eviction support if needed. You don’t have to coordinate between multiple providers. With Marfour, it’s all under one roof, and everything is done correctly from day one.

Ongoing Legal Support You Can Rely On

Unlike typical property managers who only step in when something breaks, our team provides year-round legal support. If the law changes, we update your contracts. If a dispute arises, we represent you. If a new tax rule is introduced, we handle the paperwork. You’re never left on your own.

We Defend Your Investment, Not Just Manage It

Managing a rental is one thing—protecting your long-term investment is another. At Marfour International Law Firm, we do both. We make sure your property runs smoothly while keeping you compliant, covered, and confident. That’s what makes us different—and why so many foreign owners trust us with their real estate in Spain.
