The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has resolved an appeal against a registrar's refusal to assign a short-term tourist rental registration number. The resolution examines whether the failure to register a change of use from 'premises' to a compatible use, and the existence of a community prohibition on the activity, prevent the assignment of the number (Art. 10 RD 1312/2024). The text suggests that the documentation provided complies with Art. 8 of RD 1312/2024 and that provisional registration should be permitted to avoid prejudice to economic activity (Art. 38 CE).
For tourist accommodation management companies (such as 'La Cabaña del Estanque, SL'), the resolution provides a way to challenge registry classifications that block the state registration number based on the lack of change of use or community agreements (Art. 10 RD 1312/2024). For homeowners' associations, the effectiveness of registered prohibitions on tourist activities versus sectoral enabling titles is debated. The risk for operators is the suspension of activity due to the lack of a registration number, but the resolution points to the possibility of provisional registration (Art. 38 CE).
