If finding a house for the whole year in Ibiza is difficult, finding good conditions for renting during the season is even more difficult. And the fact is that most of the ads found on the real estate portal Idealista specify that the rental price of the property must be paid in advance.
One of the ads on Idealista shows a townhouse (“chalet adosado”, describes the ad) with three bedrooms in Can Misses for 5,500 euros per month. The advertiser adds: “Payment in advance. Discover your new home in the heart of Ibiza! This stunning townhouse offers you an unparalleled living experience, just 5 minutes walk from the vibrant city center. With a total surface of 300 m², this space has been cleverly designed on several levels to make the most of every corner”. Considering that the season starts in the month of April and ends in October, about 7 months, tenants should pay 31.500 euros in advance.
The same portal also advertises another apartment very close to the beach of ses Figueretes for 1,750 euros per month with the same conditions as the previous housing: if you exceed seven months, the price must be paid in advance. “Seasonal contract. Not annual. From 7 months: 2.100 euros, 14,700 euros to be paid. From 11 months, 1,750 euros, 14,700 euros will be due.” explains the ad. In addition, the tenant must not forget that he will have to pay, as requested by the owner, two months’ deposit plus one month’s deposit. Therefore, the final price to be able to move into this apartment is 21.000 euros.
In Platja d’en Bossa, specifically in les Alzines street, you can also find another apartment for seasonal rental with payment in advance. On this occasion, the apartment is 80 square meters and has two bedrooms, and those interested in living there will have to pay 17.500 euros to move in, since the monthly payment is at 2,500 euros per month. “The apartment is rented from April 15 to October 15. More information in private”, details the advertiser. The owner of this property does not add any photos to the ad.
In addition to the difficulty of finding housing at an affordable price on the island throughout the year it is worth remembering that people who want to access a house should be very careful with scams. Sometimes there are advertisements of supposed real estate agencies that rent houses that, in reality, do not exist. It calls the attention that these cases are usually apartments that are rented at a reasonable price for how the matter is in Ibiza.
