The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith examines whether registering an inheritance in the Land Registry is a prerequisite for assigning a short-term rental registration number. The appeal challenges a registrar's negative assessment, which required compliance with the principle of successive chain of title (Art. 3 of the Mortgage Law) to validate the applicant's standing. It is argued that requiring notary and registry fees for a mere administrative control procedure is disproportionate.
For owners of properties intended for short-term rental, the resolution challenges registry rigidity in administrative procedures. If the proposed flexibility criterion is applied, heirs could obtain a rental registration number without having first completed the registration of the inheritance deed, thereby avoiding additional notary and registry costs (Art. 10.3 Decree 1312/24). Failure to register or rectify the situation carries the risk that rental platforms may be ordered to remove or disable listings (Art. 10.3 Decree 1312/24).
