The General Directorate of Legal Certainty and Public Faith confirms that owners of tourist rental properties (VUT) who obtained their registration in the Tourism Registry after April 3, 2025, must provide express authorization from the community of owners (legal grounds II). This requirement stems from the reform of the Horizontal Property Law introduced by Organic Law 1/2025 (arts. 7.3 and 17.12). The mere descriptive designation of a property as a 'tourist apartment' in the constitutive title does not replace the need for this formal agreement.
For owners of properties intended for tourist rentals, obtaining a single registration number from the Land Registry is subject to obtaining an agreement from the homeowners' association, if the VUT (Tourist Use Housing) is granted after 3 April 2025 (legal grounds II). The authorisation must be evidenced by a certificate with an electronic or legitimised signature from the community administrator. Owners cannot claim that tourist use is implied by the description of the property in the bylaws or the constitutive title (legal grounds III).
