Vacation rental owners: correction of information forms denied via duplicate file uploads without rectification identification

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has confirmed the refusal to record the submission of a short-term lease information form (Art. 246 Mortgage Law). The registrar denied the entry because the interested party submitted a file identical to one already deposited, without specifying that it was a rectification or correction. For a submission to be considered a correction, the previous deposit must be clearly identified using the property's unique registry code and the digital fingerprint of the original filing (Art. 420 Mortgage Regulations).

In 2 key points

  1. The refusal of an entry is appropriate if the document is not a registrable title or its content is incomplete (Art. 246 Mortgage Law). (art. 246 Ley Hipotecaria)
  2. No entries shall be made for the submission of private documents that cannot trigger any registry operation (Art. 420 Mortgage Regulations). (art. 420 Reglamento Hipotecario)

How it affects those involved

For owners of tourist accommodation or short-term rentals, simply resending identical files does not constitute a valid correction before the Land Registry. Failure to comply with declared data (such as the number of guests) may lead to the revocation of the Rental Registration Number (NRA) and the disabling of listings on online platforms. To rectify errors in previously filed information forms, it is imperative to use the correct electronic procedure or explicitly identify the prior deposit to avoid the refusal of the entry.
