30-day deadline to prove residential use only for limited-term rentals

The 17 October 2025 resolution suspends registration for non-tourist short-term rentals where horizontal property statutes specify exclusive permanent residence use, based on the 1954 Rental Protection Law (Art. 2). A 30-day period from notification is set to justify permanent residential use (Art. 4).

In 2 key points

  1. Assignment of registration number suspended if property is exclusively intended for permanent residence (art. 2)
  2. 30-day period to justify the purpose of permanent use (art. 4)

How it affects those involved

For owners of horizontal property homes, this means a 30-day period to demonstrate that the use is exclusively for permanent residence, which could cause delays in rental agreements. Registration authorities must review applications based on this criterion. Advisors should guide owners on how to provide the necessary justification. Tour operators or real estate agents offering short-term rentals must avoid operating in these properties without prior authorization.
