Re: Advice on renting
Many thanks, all. Very helpful.
The landlord is Spanish and lives in the Canaries most of the time. Has been helpful so far. Is going to send contract now, so when I receive it I will ask for DNI or other documents as suggested.
I am happy to pay 6 months upfront, so will not provide a bank guarantee.
(I agree with the "do not provide one" comments. Most people do not realise that bank guarantees can be absolute and not time limited).

- would you mind explaining your comment "on the padron", as this is new to us?

I think: - "You will need to get this if you intent buying/selling most things (car, house etc.). You will also need it to get health care and to put children into schools"
What it really does is adds you to the count of inhabitants in your community so that the local council get more money to spend from central government.
I think it also allows you to vote.

Re: Advice on renting
So do we apply for this at the same time and place as the NIE? Is it the Residencia? Or is that something different?

Re: Advice on renting
The residencia and NIE number are now issued together usually at the local National Police Station.
