Regulation of temporary rental agreements in Spain: What changes for shared housing in 2026

By Claire Morel 17/07/2026

Faced with an intensifying housing crisis in major metropolitan areas such as Madrid, Barcelona, or Valencia, the Spanish government has decided to take drastic measures. Since the adoption of the well-known Ley de Vivienda, many investors had moved away from long-term rentals in favour of temporary contracts, hoping to bypass rent caps and renewal restrictions. At Roomlala, we are monitoring these developments closely to provide you with the best possible support. In this year of 2026, the Iber...

Homestay: a different way to stay, for less

Renting a homestay means settling into a private room in an individual's home, while sharing living spaces like the kitchen or the lounge. This arrangement, the friendly forerunner to shared housing, is enjoying a real revival: it addresses rising rents, the shortage of student accommodation, and the desire for a more human way of living.

Who is a homestay for?

It is the preferred solution for students and apprentices, who find furnished accommodation that is immediately available and much cheaper than a studio. Interns and young professionals appreciate its flexibility: you can rent for a month or for a year, without the hassle of buying furniture. Employees on business trips see it as a warm alternative to a hotel, and seniors who offer a room gain a supplementary income and a reassuring presence—this is the very spirit of intergenerational cohabitation.

A stay that changes everything

Living in a homestay also means benefiting from the advice of a host who knows their city, improving in a foreign language on a daily basis, and arriving in an unknown city without feeling alone. Utilities are generally included in the rent, the accommodation is equipped, and moving in often just comes down to a handshake.

With verified listings, reviews left by previous tenants, and secure online booking, Roomlala supports hosts and tenants every step of the way, all over France and Europe.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a homestay?
Renting a homestay means occupying a private room in a private individual's home, with shared access to common areas (kitchen, bathroom, etc.). It is an affordable and friendly solution, ideal for both short and long stays.
How much does a homestay cost?
The rent depends on the city, the neighbourhood and the included services. A homestay is generally significantly cheaper than an equivalent studio apartment, as utilities are most often included.
What is the difference between a homestay and shared housing?
In a homestay, you live with the host or the primary tenant who resides on the premises. In shared housing, you share the property with other flatmates, usually without the host present.
Who is eligible to rent a homestay?
Students, apprentices, interns, young professionals, employees on the move, or travellers: homestay is suitable for anyone looking for furnished, flexible, and affordable accommodation.
How do I book a homestay on Roomlala?
Contact the host for free via the listing to discuss the terms, then book online. Verified profiles, reviews from previous tenants and secure payment ensure you can rent with complete peace of mind.
