Is it possible to sign rental contracts remotely?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Any rental contract is governed by Law 29\/1994, of November 24, 1994, concerning Urban Leases (LAU)<\/strong> which regulates real estate law. Therefore, its function is to govern all matters related to housing and rental; whether intended for tourist or commercial use. Article 4.2 clarifies that: “housing leases are governed by the provisions of Title II of this law, failing that, by the will of the parties and, supplementarily, by the provisions of the Civil Code<\/em>“. <\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In other words, the will of the parties prevails; having freedom on how the lease contract is entered into<\/strong>, even in those entered into verbally.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

On the other hand, according to the security level of the signature, the eIDAS Regulation<\/strong> defines three types: simple<\/strong>, advanced<\/strong><\/a> and qualified<\/a> electronic signature. All of them are perfectly legal and admissible before any court to sign<\/strong> any type of document.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Therefore, we can sign rental contracts online with total peace of mind<\/strong> using any of the previously mentioned types, a technology that undoubtedly improves the customer experience and avoids having to print the contract and all those other setbacks that traditional signing can bring with it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
