Rejection of filing entry: failure to identify property in electronic form prevents short-term lease deposits

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has confirmed the rejection of a filing entry for a short-term lease information deposit due to the failure to identify the property (Art. 251 Mortgage Law). The issue arises because the electronic system failed to detect the land registry number in the correct computer field; as it is an electronic entry that the Registry cannot modify, the entry cannot be recorded (grounds 4).

In 2 key points

  1. Impossibility of the Registry modifying electronic filings (Art. 251 Mortgage Law) (fundamentos 4)
  2. The rejection is based on the principle of real folio and the failure to identify the property (Arts. 1, 8, 9, 18, 243 and 251.2 Mortgage Law) (Hechos II)

How it affects those involved

For individuals and owners using electronic channels to deposit short-term lease information, there is a risk that data entry errors (such as the property number) will prevent the filing entry from being recorded (grounds 4). Since the Registry cannot modify electronic entries, rejection is the only legal recourse if the computer field fails to correctly link the property (Art. 251 Mortgage Law).
