How to message your landlord when you do not speak Spanish

A broken air conditioner or a missed appointment is stressful enough without translating every reply. Start with a short, specific message, share the details, and ask the landlord to confirm the next step.

A practical guide

Describe the issue before asking for a solution

For example: The air conditioner in the main bedroom stopped cooling this morning. Could a technician come tomorrow? Keep the appliance, room, timing and request in separate sentences.

Use concrete dates and amounts

Write October 26 rather than next Monday, and Q500 rather than 500. Spell out whether a figure is a total, a deposit or a remaining balance. Ask the other person to repeat the amount if there is any ambiguity.

Confirm the arrangement in the same conversation

After a reply, summarize: Thank you. The technician will come on October 26 between 10 am and noon, and I will be home. A short confirmation makes misunderstandings easier to spot.

Keep the original agreement

Translation is a communication aid. Keep your contract, receipts and original messages. Check any important contract or payment wording with someone qualified before relying on it.
