Serástinada definition

Serástinada definition

I am typing a rental agreement which includes the following clause:-

La vivienda arrendada y objeto de este contrato serástinada única y exclusivamente, y en su integridad y con exclusión de cualquier otro uso, a residencia temporal.

I understand the general intent of the clause as I have an English translation however I cannot recognise the word serástinada. I can´t find it in the dictionary, my Spanish spellchecker marks it as incorrect and prompts serás tinada, and when I search either of those online I can´t find anywhere they are used.

I did find tinada, destinada(s) and des tinadas the latter of which seems to translate as destined for.

Can anyone please explain the definition of serástinada?

when I was training as a lawyer proof reading was considered vital, but with spell checkers etc I don't think people bother. It is pouring here wish I was in sunny Spain! - Mardle, Dec 12, 2015

I think it is probably 'será destinada' . It makes sense for a contract to set out what will happen. I don't know how good your Spanish is so do not know how much further to go ie beginner can be very basic up to almost fluent. It looks to me that someone is stressing how temporary it is.

I am not a native Spanish speaker. My legal training in property law is very rusty.

Do you have a lawyer friend who could double check the point? If you have the document in English you could put the phrase in a translator. Are you intending to sign the contract or are you typing it for a Spanish person to sign?

Yes that translation makes sense. My spanish isn´t very good but I am only retyping the contract so we can renew it. I have found a number of typing errors in the original (eg dano not daño) so I think you are right and it was a slip up. - ErikainAndalusia, Dec 12, 2015
you might know this too. they have used El Contrato mostly but in some places have referred to El Contracto. Is Contracto a word? I thought it was only Contrato. - ErikainAndalusia, Dec 12, 2015
No proof reader! I don't think there is such a word in Spanish. Contacto won't fit so yes typing mistakes. - Mardle, Dec 12, 2015
thanks so much! - ErikainAndalusia, Dec 12, 2015
