Thank you all for your replies. We have happily been renting in Spain for 6 years now and we have never missed a rental payment or had any problems, this was something we didnt want to do as the place we had to turn down was a lovely villa but it was out of our hands.

Hello joanmalaga

We told them straight away which was in July so a good 3 months before we were due to move in. The emails just really contain details about dates and an email sometime in May when we said we would definietly take it.

We exchanged emails about the rental however no deposit or even the cost of the rental was mentioned in the emails.

Hello GuyT thanks for replying sorry should have been a bit clearer when i mean officially i mean nothing was signed and there were no terms or anything agreed. Everything was by email which as far as I am still aware is still very difficult to use in court as confirmation of any contract, especially if its 'free' email accounts.

I have accepted that there are problems, I wouldnt say 'mucked him about' as I could say that God destroyed my home and he is to blame for making us move home early.

Hello Sanchez1 thanks for reply they are British

Hello my family and I rent in Spain and we were due to move into a new rental in November this year but during bad weather the house we were in was severly damaged so we had to move out immediately. We found a new place but had to sign a full contract so we contacted the people whos house we were going to rent in november apologising and explaining the situation saying we could not take their rental in november. We never signed any contracts with these people or paid any deposit etc but they are now demanding ones months rent as expenses which in a way i can understand but at the moment we are broke as we lost everything in the damage and still waiting for insurance to pay out.

Should i get a solicitor or just ignore them as nothing was ever confirmed officially justbby email.
