My landlord wants me to leave when the contract ends

The contract is extended year by year up to five years (seven if the landlord is a company), and then four months' notice is needed.

Compulsory extension

Up to five years, or seven if the landlord is a legal entity.

«llegado el día del vencimiento del contrato, este se prorrogará obligatoriamente por plazos anuales hasta que el arrendamiento alcance una duración mínima de cinco años»

How much notice

The landlord must give four months' notice; you, two.

«al menos con cuatro meses de antelación a aquella fecha en el caso del arrendador y al menos con dos meses de antelación en el caso del arrendatario»
