For every apartment, you have to go through a insurance for payment default (seguro de impago) and they will check your asshole with great details, they will smell it with all their lungs.

They are usually large banks owning 1000's of flats, they don't care about your 6 months payment, they only want people who are working, pay taxes, who are stable, and who have been sole proprietor or employees for more than a year. It's part of the EU dictatorship to make it more and more difficult to get a flat for people.
