Real estate agencies in Ceuta have reported a surge in rental demand from Moroccan migrants. Due to a lack of standard financial documentation like tax returns or pay stubs, many applicants have attempted to secure housing by offering significant cash incentives. 

Reports indicate some applicants have offered up to 5,000 euros in commissions or proposed paying a full year of rent in advance. While some agents noted the high liquidity of these applicants, others have declined such offers due to a lack of sufficient security guarantees for landlords.
