Denial of new rental registration number: second non-tourist use rental code cannot be assigned to the same property

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has upheld the refusal of a filing entry by the Denia No. 2 Land Registrar. The applicant requested a new registration number for seasonal rentals, claiming it was distinct from the short-term rental code; however, the Registrar determined that the property already holds an active non-tourist use rental code (Art. 246-1 of the Mortgage Law and Art. 420-3 of the Mortgage Regulations).

In 2 key points

  1. Impossibility of assigning a second non-tourist use rental registration code to the same property (fundamentos de Derecho)
  2. Registrars shall not issue filing entries for documents that cannot result in any registry operation (art. 246-1 Ley Hipotecaria)

How it affects those involved

For homeowners managing seasonal or short-term rentals, this ruling confirms that a second rental registration number cannot be obtained for the same property under the same non-tourist use category. The administration prevents the duplication of assignment codes for a single property, maintaining the integrity of the existing rental register (Art. 246-1 of the Mortgage Law).
