The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has upheld the decision of the Madrid Land Registry No. 4 to refuse the assignment of a short-term rental registration number (non-tourist) for an entire property. The resolution is based on a lack of successive chain of title, as the applicant is not the registered owner and the submitted contract lacks verified signatures (first legal ground), combined with the fact that the community statutes limit the property's use exclusively to residential or professional purposes (second legal ground).
For the applicant, the resolution confirms the impossibility of registering short-term rental activity for the property due to the invalidity of the title of acquisition and the expiration of the submitted contract. For owners in communities with statutes limiting use to residential or professional purposes, the prohibition on using the property for short-term rental activities is confirmed, preventing the obtaining of the corresponding registration number.
