The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has ruled on an appeal against the suspension of a rental registration number assignment for a property. The Registrar suspended the entry because the community bylaws prohibit commercial or professional activities without authorisation from the Homeowners' Association (Art. II of the qualification note). The dispute concerns whether short-term or tourist rentals constitute a commercial activity prohibited by these bylaws.
For property owners in communities under horizontal property regimes, this ruling highlights the risk that community bylaws may block the obtaining of rental registrations if such activities are deemed commercial (qualification note). In the event of a refusal by the Registrar, a period of 7 working days is established to rectify the issue and avoid notification to the Digital Single Window and subsequent disqualification from rental platforms (Art. II of the qualification note).
