I'm with you on the doubting, and I can read Spanish... see the following... (sorry, Spanish)
Garantia de Alquiler - ¿Qué es? - ¿Cuánto cuesta? ¿Donde comprar la Garantia de Alquiler?
Maybe I'm just me being a pesimist as usual, waiting to be proved wrong when in an area I know little or nothing about. I'm rather a "half full bottle" person, but when blind, I'm a "half empty bottle" and at defcon 1.
This, to me, looks like 90% for the landlord and maybe 10% for the tenant. I would also say it is designed to unblock the courts in these types of disputes. All those who owe months (or years - up to 5) of back rent, for whatever reason, would be out on the street if they had signed one of these.... I think!!
Perhaps a legal eagle can clear it up for us. Also be intersting to see if many other people on here were asked to sign one of these appart from the rental contract.
