Homeowners in community developments: express community authorisation required to rent properties for tourist purposes

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has dismissed an appeal against the suspension of a single tourist rental registration number for a property in Toledo. The ruling confirms that if the community statutes prohibit tourist rentals or restrict the use of flats to residential or office purposes, the registration cannot be completed without express authorisation from the community (Resolution of 20 February 2026).

In 2 key points

  1. Express community authorisation is required if statutes restrict use to residential or office purposes (Resolución de 20 de febrero de 2026)
  2. Two-month deadline to appeal via a claim before the Civil Court (art. 325 y 328 de la Ley Hipotecaria)

How it affects those involved

For owners of properties under a horizontal property regime, the existence of statutory prohibitions prevents obtaining registrations for short-term or tourist rentals (Resolution of 20 February 2026). Homeowner communities maintain their ability to control property use through their statutes. Parties who disagree with this dismissal may file a claim before the Civil Court within two months (Articles 325 and 328 of the Mortgage Law).
