The service
How we help landlords
Eviction for non-payment — included
We are lawyers: if your tenant stops paying, we file the claim and run the eviction ourselves, with no additional legal fees. No outside lawyer, no surprises — and we act from the first month of arrears.
Rigorous tenant vetting
Listings on the main portals with professional photography, solvency checks (payslips, employment contract, history), debtor-register searches and references. A bad tenant costs months of unpaid rent; vetting is your first line of defence.
A lawyer-drafted, watertight contract
Rent-update mechanics, inventory and condition report, guarantees beyond the statutory deposit, early-termination clauses and subletting rules. The contract is what protects you when something goes wrong.
Rent collection and monitoring
Monthly collection, payment control, annual rent updates in line with Spanish law and direct liaison with the tenant. You simply receive the transfer and the report.
Repairs and maintenance
Breakdowns, repairs and dealings with the community of owners resolved through our network of trusted contractors, without you having to step in. We lodge and recover the deposit with the Instituto Canario de la Vivienda.
Non-resident owners
100% remote management with periodic reports, non-resident income tax filings (IRNR, form 210) and a single point of contact in your language: English, Spanish, German, French, Italian and Dutch.
The process
How it works
From the free assessment to monthly rent collection, in five steps.
Free property assessment
We value the market rent and expected yield of your home or commercial unit in the Canary Islands and send you a no-obligation proposal.
Listing and tenant selection
We advertise the property with professional photography on the main portals, screen candidates with solvency checks and debtor-register searches, and present only reliable profiles.
Contract and deposit
We draft a watertight, lawyer-made tenancy agreement with inventory and guarantees, and lodge the deposit with the Instituto Canario de la Vivienda (ICV).
Full monthly management
We collect the rent, update it every year, deal with the tenant and resolve incidents and repairs with trusted contractors.
If the rent stops, we act immediately
We claim from the first missed month and, where necessary, run the court eviction and rent-recovery claim at no extra cost: it is included in the management fee.

Frequently asked questions
How much does full rental management cost?
Full management of a long-term rental costs between 8% and 12% of the monthly rent, depending on the property and services. Holiday-let management ranges from 15% to 25% of income. The initial profitability assessment is free.
What exactly does the service include?
Listing the property, tenant vetting with solvency checks, drafting the tenancy agreement, lodging the deposit with the ICV, monthly rent collection, annual rent updates, incident and maintenance management and, if the tenant defaults, the arrears claim and court eviction.
Is eviction really included?
Yes. An estate agency refers you to an outside lawyer who charges separate fees; we are lawyers and handle the proceedings directly, at no additional cost. An uncontested eviction for non-payment is usually resolved within 2 to 4 months from filing.
What happens if my tenant stops paying?
We act from the first missed payment: formal demand, eviction claim and recovery of the rent owed. Every month of inaction is another month of debt and another month without your property back — so we do not wait.
I am a non-resident owner — can you take care of everything?
Yes. We manage the rental entirely remotely with periodic reports, file the non-resident income tax (IRNR, form 210) on your rental income and assist you in English, Spanish, German, French, Italian and Dutch.
Do you also manage holiday lets?
Yes. Tourist rentals require registration in the Canary Islands tourism registry and carry their own tax rules and restrictions. We manage the let together with the licensing of the property; fees range from 15% to 25% of income, reflecting the greater workload involved.
Who lodges the tenant’s deposit?
We do. In the Canary Islands the tenancy deposit must be lodged with the Instituto Canario de la Vivienda (ICV); we handle the lodging at the start of the tenancy and its recovery and settlement at the end.
Why a law firm instead of an estate agency?
Legal protection is built in from day one: the contract is drafted by tenancy lawyers, arrears are resolved by the same firm with no referrals and, if a defaulting tenant turns out to be insolvent or enters insolvency proceedings, we know exactly how to defend your claim — the firm’s principal also practises as a court-appointed insolvency administrator.
Lawyers first, property managers second
An agency manages your rental while everything goes well. The moment the tenant stops paying, you are referred to an outside lawyer with separate fees. At ALY Abogados, legal defence is built in from day one.
Arrears resolved without third parties
If the tenant does not pay, the same firm that manages your rental files the claim and runs the eviction at no extra cost. We know the case from the start, act from the first month and you keep a single point of contact throughout.
A contract that genuinely protects you
The contract is not paperwork: it is what decides the lawsuit. Ours are drafted by tenancy lawyers, with guarantees beyond the statutory deposit, early-termination clauses, rent-update mechanics and subletting rules.
Insolvent tenant or personal insolvency
If a defaulting tenant turns to Spain’s second-chance law or enters insolvency proceedings, we know exactly how to defend your claim: the firm’s principal practises as a court-appointed insolvency administrator. Most agencies stop collecting at that point; we know how to keep going.
