Homeowners: suspension of tourist rental registration number due to statutory prohibition

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has suspended the assignment of a short-term rental registration number for a property in Barcelona, following a negative assessment by the registrar. The decision is based on the fact that the building's community statutes expressly prohibit the use of dwellings for tourist activities, holiday rentals, or room rentals (Facts II).

In 2 key points

  1. Prohibition of tourist, holiday, or room rental use according to community statutes (Facts II) (Hechos II)
  2. Suspension of the assignment of the short-term rental registration number (Facts I) (Hechos I)

How it affects those involved

For owners intending to exploit properties for tourist purposes, the existence of express prohibitions in the Homeowners' Association statutes prevents obtaining a short-term rental registration number (Facts II). This constitutes an administrative block on the legalisation of holiday rental activities in buildings with such statutory restrictions.
