The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith confirms that Land Registrars must verify compliance with community bylaws when assigning short-term rental registration numbers (Royal Decree 1312/2024). In this instance, the suspension of a registration number assignment was upheld because the property's bylaws expressly prohibited changing the purpose of private elements and conducting commercial or professional activities within the dwellings. The resolution emphasises that registry competence includes verifying compliance with the bylaws approved by homeowners' associations.
For homeowners in communities with restrictive bylaws, the assignment of a registration number for short-term holiday rentals may be denied if the bylaws prohibit changing the use of the dwelling or commercial use (Royal Decree 1312/2024). Homeowners' associations retain their ability to regulate and limit the use of private elements through their bylaws. Sector professionals must verify the compatibility of holiday rental activities with the property's internal regulations before initiating the registration process.
