\n
Every year, Madrid welcomes thousands of people who come for work, study or personal reasons. Many of them do not need a permanent rental, but rather temporary accommodation that offers comfort and flexibility. This is where the big question arises: what is the difference between short-stay and seasonal rentals?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

At Proinca, we explain it clearly, because we specialise in offering accommodation in Madrid for those looking for intermediate stays, neither as short as tourist stays nor as long as conventional rentals.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

What is a seasonal rental?<\/h2>\n
\n

El alquiler de temporada es aquel destinado a cubrir una necesidad temporal del inquilino<\/strong>. Est\u00e1 regulado por la Ley de Arrendamientos Urbanos (LAU), y suele tener una duraci\u00f3n de entre uno y once meses<\/strong>. A diferencia del alquiler habitual, el contrato de temporada no tiene como finalidad la residencia permanente, sino una estancia motivada, por ejemplo, por un desplazamiento laboral, un curso acad\u00e9mico o una reforma en la vivienda habitual.<\/p>\n

La mayor\u00eda de nuestros inquilinos de temporada son profesionales que llegan a Madrid por un proyecto laboral<\/u><\/a> o familias que necesitan un piso mientras su casa est\u00e1 en obras. Son contratos claros, con todas las garant\u00edas legales y viviendas totalmente equipadas para entrar a vivir desde el primer d\u00eda<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

What is a short-term rental?<\/h2>\n
\n

Short-term rentals refer to very short-term contracts\u2014from a few days to a few weeks\u2014and are usually associated with tourist rentals.<\/strong> In Madrid, these rentals require a specific licence and are subject to regional regulations on tourist accommodation. They generally include additional services such as cleaning or guest services, which are more typical of the hotel sector than the residential sector.<\/p>\n

At Proinca, we do not offer this type of tourist rental. Our model is based on longer temporary stays and long-term rental contracts<\/u><\/a>, always within the framework of the LAU (Urban Leasehold Act), to offer tenants peace of mind throughout their stay.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

Main differences between the two types of rental<\/h2>\n
\n

Although they are often confused, the differences between short-term and seasonal rentals are clear. The former is geared towards holidays, while the latter responds to a specific need to live temporarily in the city.
