general limitation period for a claim like this
Your deposit is not a gift to the landlord. It is your money, and the law says when it has to come back.
Situations
You did your part. Now it is the landlord’s turn.
If you handed back the keys and your deposit has not been returned, or amounts are deducted without justification, the first useful step is usually a clear, formal demand.
Unjustified deductions
They claim damage that is normal wear or that they cannot prove.
No reply
You have written or called several times, but the landlord avoids a solution.

Frequently asked questions
When must the deposit be returned?
Spanish law does not literally set a one-month deadline, but article 36.4 of the Urban Tenancies Act provides that the balance accrues statutory interest if it has not been returned within a month of the key handover. What you can claim depends on the circumstances and justified deductions.
Do you guarantee I will get the money back?
No. The service covers a specific legal action and cannot guarantee what the landlord does. A professional demand is usually the first step before considering other routes.
What documents do I need?
The tenancy agreement, proof of the deposit, proof of key handover, the landlord’s details and relevant messages. Photos of the property when you left also help.
What if the landlord claims damage?
We check whether the deductions are explained and supported by evidence. Cases with serious damage or complex evidence are assessed separately.
Where is my deposit held?
In most Spanish regions the landlord must lodge the deposit with a public body. Even so, it is the landlord who has to return it to you.
What if they still do not pay?
The next step is usually a court claim. With the Plus plan we assess your case and explain the most suitable route.
Can I use the service from outside Spain?
Yes, if the rental was in Spain and the case meets the criteria. Everything is online, in English, Spanish or German.
