Updated: 22 October 2026. This guide explains the platform offer and general rules. Actual use, applicable law and the version saved for your booking are decisive. A landlord’s consent does not replace statutory requirements.
MUVAWAY connects tenants and landlords for furnished housing with an actual temporary housing need, from 32 nights to 12 months. Describe your real reason in your own words. A single word causes neither automatic rejection nor legal approval. The offer does not include short holiday accommodation or hotel services.
What the booking confirmation records
The current LAU addresses actual temporary housing in Articles 2.3, 7.2 and 9 bis. Classifying every temporary rental as other use under the former Article 3 is therefore inaccurate for the active offer. An actual temporary housing need must exist and be documented. The absence of the required reason can result in reclassification.
The tenancy is directly between landlord and tenant. MUVAWAY provides the booking confirmation as the contractual document. It records the parties, actual reason, property, dates, discounted rent, utilities, deposit and acceptance. Required information must be accessible before a binding agreement. Spanish wording does not automatically prevail merely because it is Spanish; mandatory statutory rights remain.
The tenant books and saves a card; nothing is charged until the landlord replies. If the landlord confirms and move-in is at most 80 days away, the first month is charged. With a longer lead time it is charged 80 days before move-in. Successful payment makes the booking firm. Bank transfers follow the separately displayed process. The parties, actual reason, dates, costs and consent are recorded in the booking confirmation.
Under the current LAU, a temporary tenant can give ten days’ notice, effective no earlier than one calendar month after the contract is concluded. Displayed booking terms may offer more favourable cancellation rights; statutory rights remain. Consecutive contracts do not provide unlimited renewal: Article 9 bis governs reclassification and Article 17.8 limits successor rents.
See the current Terms of Use, FAQ, payment information and saved booking confirmation for the actual process. Landlords should obtain professional advice before letting in a legal borderline case.

Later rent payments are charged automatically to the saved card. Before cancellation, retained rent and refund are displayed. Earlier bookings retain their agreed conditions and saved versions. The deposit is settled directly between tenant and landlord; see our deposit guide.
