Homeowner associations: statutory bans on lodging also apply to non-tourist short-term rentals

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has confirmed that statutory clauses prohibiting lodging activities also apply to properties intended for non-tourist short-term rentals (RDGSJFP of 5 March 2026). The resolution establishes that the concept of lodging and the obligations of sector-specific legislation encompass these types of uses, following the doctrine of previous 2025 resolutions (BOE-A-2025-11582). Consequently, if the community's statutes do not permit such activity, it is not possible to assign a short-term rental registration number to the property.

In 2 key points

  1. Statutory prohibitions on lodging also affect non-tourist short-term rental properties (RDGSJFP de 5 de marzo de 2026)
  2. The concept of lodging encompasses tourist accommodation and similar uses according to previous doctrine (BOE-A-2025-11582)

How it affects those involved

For rental management companies (such as Ukio Spain, SL), it is impossible to register properties for short-term rental if the community statutes prohibit it, even if they are not strictly classified as 'tourist' (Art. 553-11-3 of Book V). For homeowner associations, their ability to limit uses through registered statutes is ratified, extending the lodging prohibition to these new leasing models.
