Swallowing the Anchor.How to Get Spanish Residency living in rented house?

[ferroboat]

We are going to sell our boat and wish to remain in Spain. Our application for our NIE numbers is well under way. Does anyone have any advice or information on applying for Spanish residency whilst renting a house. We are both receiving the British state pension.
Thanks in anticipation

Suggest you PM PawPaw (Michael Briant). He's currently living in Spain and seems to know the ins and outs.

Good luck with the move to land.

Residency is generally a question of fact. More than 183 days in a year in a country, you are resident. You need to inform the tax authorities in the old and new countries.
