Resolution of 17 October 2025, Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith, regarding the appeal against the registration note

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has ruled on an appeal against a Registrar's refusal to assign a unique tourist rental registration number. The resolution examines whether a prohibition on tourist activity within a homeowners' association's statutes is sufficient to suspend the assignment of the number (legal grounds). The case highlights the importance of the literal wording of the statutes versus the registrar's assessment under Royal Decree 1312/2024.

In 2 key points

  1. The Land Registry must verify compliance with the statutes approved by the homeowners' association (Royal Decree 1312/2024) (fundamentos de derecho)
  2. The assignment of the registration number aims to guarantee legal certainty in lease agreements (Royal Decree 1312/2024) (fundamentos de derecho)

How it affects those involved

For asset management companies or owners operating tourist rentals, the resolution emphasises that the validity of a tourist activity prohibition depends on its express and clear inclusion in the homeowners' association's statutes. Homeowners' associations must ensure that any restriction on tourist accommodation is correctly registered and drafted so that the Registrar can qualify it as an obstacle to the assignment of the registration number (Royal Decree 1312/2024).
