The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has ruled on an appeal against a negative decision by a Land Registrar in Toledo. The registrar had denied the assignment of a short-term rental registration number for a property (Art. 18 Mortgage Law), citing failure to prove representation, prohibitions within the community of owners' statutes, and discrepancies in the property identification within the municipal licence. The appeal challenges the inability to operate the property for tourist use under the framework of Royal Decree 1312/2024.
For owners of properties intended for holiday rentals, this ruling emphasises the importance of correctly proving representation before the Land Registry (Art. 18 Mortgage Law) and the necessity for municipal licences to strictly match the property's registry data. Furthermore, it warns of the risk that community statutes may contain restrictions on property use that prevent tourist activities.
