NRUA applicants: lack of legal representation or property discrepancies prevent number assignment

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has confirmed the suspension of twelve Single Rental Registration Number (NRUA) assignments for tourist use in Caldas de Reis. The decision is based on a lack of successive chain of title, as it was not proven that the signatory of the application acts on behalf of the registered owner, and a lack of consistency between the property description in the Land Registry and the provided tourist licence (Facts I and II).

In 3 key points

  1. It is required to prove that the person signing the application acts on behalf of the registered owner to avoid a lack of successive chain of title (Hechos y fundamentos de Derecho 1)
  2. The property description in the licence must be consistent with the registered property (address, cadastral reference, and floor) (Hechos y fundamentos de Derecho 2)
  3. An administrative appeal is not the appropriate procedure to rectify documentation defects that have already been identified (Resolución final)

How it affects those involved

For management companies or owners of tourist use dwellings (VUT), the resolution emphasises that an administrative appeal is not the correct procedure to rectify documentation defects (Facts and Legal Grounds 1 and 2). Applicants must ensure that the representation of the entity submitting the application stems directly from the registered owner and that the property description (address, cadastral reference, and floor) strictly matches the Land Registry data to avoid NRUA denial.
