                                                    Expenses. Who pays them?
General expenses  derived from regular use of the house (community of owners’ fees, pool,  elevators and garages, watchfulness services, etc.) needs to be paid by  the landlord unless the parties agree on the contrary in the rental contract. 
Expenses coming from individual services (water, gas, telephone, electricity…) need to be paid by the tenant unless the parties agree on the contrary. These expenses are also called “rent assimilated amounts”.
