As most will already know, these must be written in Spanish.
Some owners or agents will also provide an English (or maybe other language) translation, for tenants who don't speak Spanish.
I've just checked over a pro-forma contract for my next home, & in the English version there are all sorts of little bits added in which are contrary to the LAU. The Spanish version is a standard long term contract. Since the Spanish version is the one which counts, & I've now pointed this out, it doesn't bother me.
I know this has been mentioned many times before - but PLEASE - if you don't speak Spanish, don't rely on a translation provided by an owner or agent.
I have been contacted by so many people over the years who believe what the English version of the contract says - & a lot of the clauses I've seen added are actually illegal.
