Holiday Rental Management
Holiday rental properties are an investment that can be made more profitable with the help of a professional management company that is capable of marketing your property and maintaining it in your absence.
Management of your apartment or villa will cost around 15 percent of the rental price and could include any of the following services:
- Internet and private network marketing
- Client screening
- Collection of refundable damage deposits
- Pre-arrival and post-departure cleaning services
- Daily cleaning during guest stays
- Linen services
- Welcome food packages and greetings when guests arrive
- Travel, transportation and insurance arrangements
- Childcare
- General surveillance
- Maintenance and upkeep
If an owner wishes to rent a property short term to tourists (as opposed to long term residents), since 2016 it has been required to register a property on the 'Registro de Turismo de Andalucía' the application must be supported by a positive permission from the Community of Owners (Comunidad de Propietarios).

Things to look for in a rental agency or management company
A professional management company with a good track record will probably think of many things that may not have occurred to you to make the rentals run more smoothly. An experienced company should be able to foresee problems and where possible avoid them. They should check out the renters and ask for a deposit to cover possible damage and breakages. They will also ask for a deposit on the rental price, which should normally be in your possession before the people take up residence in your house. Some companies pay you the full amount up front and others work on a monthly accounting basis. Usually contracts offering many services will take the management fee from the rental money and then make a transfer to your bank account.
