Lease

Lease

(Proof – Unregistered Lease – Municipal Registration)

Failure to register a lease contract with the municipality in accordance with Article 4 of Royal Decree No. 6/89 renders an informal (unregistered) lease agreement inadmissible before courts and official bodies. As a result, the existence of the lease relationship must be established through other admissible means of evidence.

If the court fails to properly investigate and verify the existence of the lease relationship, the judgment is deemed deficient in reasoning and must be reversed and reconsidered.
