Homeowners: Statutory ban on 'inns' may prevent tourist rental registration

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith is examining whether a ban on establishing 'inns' within a homeowners' association's statutes prevents the assignment of a short-term tourist rental registration number (Art. 2). The conflict arises because the statutes of a property in Gijón limit the use of flats to residential or office purposes, prohibiting activities that affect the community (Facts II). The resolution is framed within the application of Royal Decree 1312/2024 for the registration of short-term accommodation (Point 2).

In 2 key points

  1. The prohibition of establishing inns in the statutes prevents the assignment of the requested rental registration number (Legal Grounds). (Fundamentos de Derecho)
  2. A period of 7 working days is provided to rectify defects in the classification or the provisional registration number will be revoked (Legal Grounds). (Fundamentos de Derecho)

How it affects those involved

For owners wishing to operate properties for tourist purposes, the existence of old statutory clauses prohibiting 'inns' or similar activities poses a risk of suspension in the assignment of the registration number (Facts II). Homeowners' associations retain the ability to limit uses through registered statutes (Facts II, b). Failure to rectify defects in the registry classification may lead to the revocation of the provisional registration number (Facts II, Legal Grounds).
