When should I start looking for accommodation near EAE Business School Madrid?
Start early, because central Madrid fills up fast before each intake.
- EAE's main intake runs in autumn, so the best central listings go over the summer.
- Booking two to three months ahead gives you the widest choice in Chamartín and along the Castellana.
- Reserving online before you arrive lets you sign from home and move straight into a furnished flat.
A search a couple of months out is the calmest way to secure a good room.
How does Spotahome verify properties and what happens if the apartment doesn't match the listing?
Every home goes through a listing verification process before it goes live, so the photos and details match the real property.
- If the flat doesn't match the listing when you arrive, report it within the first 24 hours.
- The Spotahome team then helps resolve it, by mediating with the landlord or arranging alternative accommodation.
It is a practical safety net when you are booking a home from abroad.
How much deposit do I have to pay? And when is it returned?
The deposit is set by each landlord, usually one or two months' rent.
- On listings tagged "Deposit protected", if the landlord fails to return it within three months of move-out and you met the contract terms, Spotahome refunds it to you directly.
- Many properties also come with no deposit at all, and you can filter for these in the search.
Check the listing before booking to see which option applies.
Do I need a guarantor to rent on Spotahome?
No, you do not need a local guarantor or a Spanish payslip to book.
- To reserve, you usually only need your ID or passport, your acceptance letter or student or worker credentials, and a payment method.
- Once the landlord accepts your booking, they may request proof of solvency and a bank direct debit to finalise the contract.
Having these ready in advance keeps the last step quick and smooth.
What is included in the monthly rent? What is not?
Your monthly rent always includes the rent, the property tax and the building service charges. Utilities like electricity, gas, water and Wi-Fi are included in a good share of the listings, but not all landlords add them: in some flats you'll see a fixed monthly amount on top. Personal items and food are never included. Optional services such as a parking spot or weekly cleaning are usually billed separately. Take a careful look at each listing's description to see exactly what each property covers.
