Why landlords don't reply

No Spanish payslip

You work remotely, earn abroad or are self-employed. The landlord's checklist has no box for you.

No history in Spain

No local references, no Spanish bank record. Your application goes to the bottom of the pile.

A dog or children

Many listings say no before you even ask.

It is rarely that you can't pay. It is that your application doesn't look like the ones landlords are used to. That we can work on.

How it works

1. Tell us your case

Your income, your dates, your budget and who is coming (partner, children, pets). We tell you honestly whether we can help, before you pay anything.

2. We build your tenant file

Your documents organised the way Spanish landlords expect them, with a clear profile that explains who you are.

3. Your agent does the legwork

Calls to agencies and owners in Spanish. Viewings attended with you, in person or on video if you haven't landed yet.

4. Contract and signature

We go through the contract with you before you sign and talk through the terms with the owner. Our service ends the day you sign the lease.

Office in Alicante

Renting in Alicante as a foreigner

Practical answers for Americans and other newcomers looking for a long-term apartment for rent in Alicante, with or without a Spanish payslip.

What do landlords in Alicante usually ask a foreign tenant for?

Landlords usually ask for your passport, proof of regular income and, when you have them, references or an employment or client contract. Each owner decides what they need. We prepare your tenant file the way Spanish landlords expect it, so it answers their questions before they ask.

How can I rent without a Spanish payslip?

Landlords mainly want to see that your income is real and regular. Remote workers, freelancers and people paid from abroad usually show recent bank statements, contracts with employers or clients and tax returns from their home country. We organise these documents, explain them to the owner in Spanish and tell you honestly at the start how your case looks.

What deposit and guarantees should I expect?

A long-term lease in Spain normally comes with a security deposit, and some landlords ask for additional guarantees, especially from tenants without a history in Spain. What is asked depends on the owner and the contract. We tell you what is being requested before you commit and go through those terms with you before you sign.

Long-term rental or seasonal rental: what is the difference?

A long-term rental is a home you live in as your main residence, with the stability and tenant protections that come with it. A seasonal or temporary rental is for a limited period and a specific reason, and is usually furnished. Rental Concierge is designed to find the long-term home you will actually live in; if you also need a short stay first, tell us.

Can I rent an apartment in Alicante with a dog or other pets?

Yes, although many listings say no to pets before you even ask. We filter out those listings before you waste a visit, look for owners who accept pets and children, and present your pet in your tenant file.

Can I view flats by video before I arrive in Spain?

Yes. You can start from abroad: your agent attends the viewings, shows you the home on a video call and keeps you informed in English or Spanish.

How early should I start looking?

As soon as you know your dates, your budget and who is coming with you. Long-term rentals in Alicante are scarce, so having your tenant file ready before the right home appears puts you in a better position. Tell us your dates and we will tell you honestly what we see.

What does my rental agent actually do?

Your agent works for you, not for the landlord: builds your tenant file, searches for homes, calls agencies and owners in Spanish, attends the viewings with you in person or on video, negotiates with the owner and reviews your documents and contract with our team and a legal partner. We can also help switch your utilities. Our service ends the day you sign the lease.

Frequently asked questions

What is Rental Concierge?

A tenant-representation service. In Spain the agencies work for the landlord; we work for you. We prepare your tenant file, look for homes, call owners and agencies, attend the viewings and go through the contract with you.

Who is it for?

For foreigners renting in the province of Alicante: remote workers, freelancers, families, people with pets, and people who haven't arrived yet.

Can you guarantee I will get a home?

No. We cannot promise a flat, a date or an owner's yes. We promise our work: a strong tenant file, the calls, the viewings and the contract. And if we think your case will not work, we will tell you straight.

Do I need Spanish payslips?

Not necessarily. Every owner decides, and foreign or remote income can be presented clearly. We do that for you, and we tell you honestly at the start what we see.

What does it cost?

A fixed fee, confirmed in writing before you pay anything. The first check is free and without commitment.

What if I haven't arrived in Spain yet?

You can start from abroad. We attend the viewings with you on video and keep you informed in English or Spanish.

What happens after I sign?

Our service ends the day you sign the lease. We make sure you understand the contract before that moment.

Do you also help with bank account, schools or the move itself?

Yes: Rental Concierge is part of Relocation Centers. Tell us what you need and we will tell you how we can help.

Tell us your case. You will get an honest yes or no.
