We have carried out a study on the leasing and, although with the new Law 4/2013 of June 2013 have been solved, for the brevity, enough inconveniences, the truth is that we are in a period in which different contracts coexist in force .

So the study we have designed in 40 basic points that we hope will serve as a consultation; That it is a summary with the intention of orienting; That each case is unique and that we advise that if you are in the process of leasing, whatever your part in it, consult with professionals. We ourselves, for example 🙂 because any decision can have repercussions, in the future, on unwanted outcomes.

If you want to share this entry, make mention, so we will know that the work done has not been in vain.
