Homeowners in communities: single registration for tourist rentals prohibited if statutes forbid it

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has dismissed an appeal against the suspension of a single registration number for short-term (tourist) rentals for an entire building. The decision is based on the fact that the community statutes prohibit the use of dwellings for purposes exceeding family use or involving the division of units into rooms for commercial exploitation (Article 16 of the statutes).

In 2 key points

  1. Prohibition of rentals that exceed the number of people typical of a family or that divide the dwelling into rooms (artículo 16 de los estatutos)
  2. Possibility of appealing via a claim before the Civil Court within a period of two months (artículos 325 y 328 de la Ley Hipotecaria)

How it affects those involved

For owners of properties under a community ownership regime, the existence of statutory clauses limiting residential use prevents the obtaining of tourist rental registrations for the entire building. This poses an operational blockage risk for those intending to exploit properties under holiday rental models if the community statutes expressly prohibit it (Article 16 of the statutes).
