Is Barakaldo a rent-stressed market area?
What this means for your rent in Barakaldo
If your landlord is a large holder (10 or more urban properties, or 5 in some regions) and the contract is new, the rent cannot exceed that of the previous contract on the same property, barring narrow legal exceptions. For an individual landlord there's no such strict cap, though staying within the INE's reference price index is strongly advised.
You're also entitled to request an extraordinary extension of up to 3 years when the contract ends if you can show a situation of vulnerability, and the landlord can no longer pass on letting agency or contract-formalisation fees to you.
