Ban on short-term rentals: community statutes prevail over registration applications

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has confirmed that assigning a registration number for non-tourist short-term rentals is subject to compliance with community statutes (Art. 18 of the Mortgage Law). In this instance, the property's statutes expressly prohibited the use of dwellings for lodging or hotel purposes. The Land Registry must verify both administrative and civil requirements before granting a registration number (Royal Decree 1312/2024).

In 2 key points

  1. A single registration number is required to list properties on online short-term rental platforms (Real Decreto 1312/2024)
  2. The assignment of the number must verify compliance with urban planning, administrative, and civil requirements (Real Decreto 1312/2024)

How it affects those involved

For accommodation management companies (such as Roomie Living, S.L.), obtaining a single registration number is not automatic and depends on the absence of prohibitions within the community statutes (Royal Decree 1312/2024). Without this number, the property cannot be listed on online short-term rental platforms. Owners must review their community's civil regulations before starting registration procedures to avoid negative outcomes.
