Accommodation

IQS understands how important it is to find a place to live where you feel at home. Although we do not have our own accommodation, we offer various options to help you find the ideal place for your time with us.

It is essential that the accommodation you choose makes it possible for you to obtain the municipal registry of inhabitants certificate.

What is the municipal registry of inhabitants?
The municipal registry of inhabitants certificate (empadronamiento in Spanish) is the official document that certifies your residence in a Spanish municipality. This document is essential for carrying out many legal procedures during your time in Spain.

Before signing a rental contract, make sure that you can obtain this certificate with the contract.

Advice on the municipal registry of inhabitants

Student residence halls: You will have no problem getting registered.
Renting apartments: Ask the landlord if they will provide you with the necessary data for the municipal registry of inhabitants. Although landlords are required to do so, if you detect hesitation from them it is best to look for another option.
Subletting or renting without a contract: You will not be able to obtain the municipal registry of inhabitants certificate.
Tourist flats: Registration with the municipal registry of inhabitants is not possible with tourist flats.

If you have any questions, IQS can guide you in your search for accommodation and handling the necessary procedures.

Residence Halls

As a university centre, IQS strongly recommends that students stay in one of the residence halls with which we have an agreement in place.

We have signed agreements in place with the following residence halls that offer student accommodation. You can consult them all here.
