Owners of tourist rental properties: signature requirements and community authorisation for short-term rental registration

The resolution examines the validity of applications for short-term tourist rental (VUT) registration numbers. It establishes that applications must be signed by the registered owner using a notarised manual signature or electronic identification systems (Art. 20 Mortgage Law). Furthermore, for activities commenced after 3 April 2025, the authorisation of the activity by the community requires the agreement of 3/5 of the owners (grounds for negative qualification).

In 2 key points

  1. The application must feature a notarised manual signature or electronic identification systems/Cl@ve (Art. 20 Mortgage Law). (art. 20 Ley Hipotecaria)
  2. For VUTs after 3 April 2025, agreement from 3/5 of owners and quotas is required (qualification note). (nota de calificación)

How it affects those involved

For owners of tourist rental properties (VUT), registration in the short-term rental registry requires strict compliance with the legitimisation of the owner's signature (Art. 20 Mortgage Law). In buildings with a community of owners, applications submitted after 3 April 2025 must prove the agreement of 3/5 of the participation quota to authorise the activity, otherwise facing the risk of a negative qualification by the Registrar.
