How they rented in Spain — without flying out first.

01

The problem

She worked remotely for a US company, was paid in dollars to an Argentinian account, and Madrid landlords didn't understand her work setup. No Spanish payslip, no local permanent contract, no Spanish guarantor and not a single euro in a Spanish bank. Three landlords ghosted her when she sent docs over WhatsApp.

02

How idRent solved it

1. 1She uploaded her US work contract + 6 months of bank statements. idRent translated them into the format Spanish landlords expect, converted USD → EUR income and certified job stability.
2. 2We connected her profile to a local rent guarantee company that backed the application and covered unpaid rent for the landlord. The landlord accepted without asking for a personal cosigner.
3. 3We verified the landlord before the deposit: ownership confirmed in the registry, no red flags.

03

The outcome

Sofía signed her lease a month before moving and landed in Madrid with keys in hand. Her scouting flight turned into a one-way move flight.

01

The problem

His company was relocating him from London to Barcelona with a new local contract, but no landlord accepted him without a Spanish resident cosigner. His parents live in the UK, he didn't want to ask Spanish colleagues to sign for him, and the 6 months upfront some landlords asked for as an alternative meant €12,000 locked in a deposit he didn't want to tie up.

02

How idRent solved it

1. 1We verified his new Spanish employment contract (internal relocation) and his last 6 months of UK payslips to show continuity of income.
2. 2We connected his profile to a rent guarantee company that replaced the personal cosigner: the landlord got unpaid-rent coverage and accepted the lease without 6 months upfront.
3. 3We calculated his exact signing cost (deposit + first month + agent fees) so he knew the exact wire transfer he had to land with at the notary.

03

The outcome

James closed on a duplex in Gràcia without asking family in the UK or locking up six months of rent. The rent guarantor cost less than one month's rent and unlocked three flats that had rejected him.

01

The problem

She found a penthouse in Ruzafa below market price. The supposed landlord insisted on closing fast over WhatsApp and asked for two months' deposit by wire before she travelled to Valencia to see the place. Marie was in Paris and couldn't verify anything in person.

02

How idRent solved it

1. 1We activated landlord verification for €30: ownership of the flat in the Property Registry, identity of the supposed owner, background check.
2. 2The name claiming ownership didn't match the registered title-holder. The cadastral number for the flat didn't match the listing's address. We caught the scam in 48 hours.
3. 3We helped her find verified-landlord alternatives and activated a rent guarantor to strengthen her freelance profile — landlords always ask for more guarantees with self-employed tenants.

03

The outcome

Marie avoided losing €4,500 for thirty euros. Three weeks later she signed a real flat in Patacona with a verified landlord and an active guarantor — her freelance profile was no longer an obstacle.

01

The problem

Full family move: couple, two school-age kids, dog, and all savings in Mexican pesos in Mexican banks. They needed a minimum 3-bedroom home near a bilingual school, in a safe area, with a landlord willing to accept a family with zero Spanish track record. All from Mexico City, without a single exploratory trip.

02

How idRent solved it

1. 1We translated his Mexican business income into Spanish fiscal format, certified solvency with translated bank statements, and had his profile ready in 5 days.
2. 2A rent guarantor covered the lack of Spanish bank history. The landlord of a 3-bedroom flat in Pedregalejo accepted without asking for Spanish work contracts.
3. 3We verified the landlord, calculated total costs (deposit + 2 months + agent fees + international moving) and coordinated timings with his golden-visa advisor.

03

The outcome

The family signed their lease three weeks before the final flight. When they landed in Málaga, the keys were waiting with the landlord in person. The kids started school the following Monday.
