Tourist rental registration applicants: Directorate General rejects Registrar's negative assessment regarding documentation requirements

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has ruled on an appeal against a Land Registrar's refusal to register an application for a short-term rental registration number for an entire property. The Registrar required certifications from the Homeowners' Association regarding the validity of officeholders and the notification of absentees, as well as the notarisation of signatures (Art. 18 of the Mortgage Law). The appellant argues that such requirements are impossible to fulfill and violate the rectification timeframes (Art. 9 of RD 1312/2024).

In 2 key points

  1. Requirement for certification from the secretary and president regarding the validity of officeholders and notification of absentees (nota de calificación)
  2. Requirement for notarisation of handwritten signatures on community documents (art. 3 Ley Hipotecaria)
