Ban on tourist rentals: appeal against suspension of registration number based on community statutes dismissed

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has dismissed an appeal against a registrar's decision to suspend the assignment of a short-term (tourist) rental registration number. The decision is based on the property's community statutes, registered in 1974, which prohibit activities that disturb the good neighbourliness or peace of residents.

In 2 key points

  1. Community statutes may prohibit activities that disturb the good neighbourliness or peace of residents. (art. 13.º de los Estatutos)
  2. A two-month period to appeal via a claim before the Civil Court from the date of notification. (art. 325 y 328 de la Ley Hipotecaria)

How it affects those involved

For property owners in communities with restrictive statutes, this ruling confirms the impossibility of obtaining a registration number for tourist rentals if the statutes prohibit activities affecting coexistence. Interested parties have a period of two months to appeal via a claim before the Civil Court.
