Legal requirements for Erasmus housing in Spain
Before you commit to renting, subletting, or swapping, check whether your lease, landlord, student residence, or local housing rules allow another student to stay in your room or apartment.
Co-Erasmus helps students organize peer-to-peer housing, but it does not replace your lease, landlord approval, university housing rules, or legal advice.
Whole-place swap
Spanish law says residential subletting may only be partial and requires prior written landlord consent.
Partial room / shared apartment
Partial temporary subletting is allowed only with prior written landlord consent.
Legal basis
Ley 29/1994 de Arrendamientos Urbanos, Article 8.
