What renting in Zarautz costs, on the record
No comparable earlier reference is published for this municipality, so no five-year change is shown. It rests on 1.339 declared leases. Zarautz rents at a reference of 11,38 €/m², high enough that a single square metre of difference in the contract is worth arguing about.
Rents declared on income-tax returns for main-residence leases, not asking prices. They lag the market and exclude holiday lets.
