Tourist rental registration number applications: suspension of qualification if community statutes limit the activity

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has ruled on the suspension of the qualification of an application for a single registration number for short-term rentals. The suspension is due to the prior existence of a deed modifying the community of owners' statutes, which limits tourist rentals on the property (Art. 17.12 LPH). As there is a prior title negatively qualified that affects the same property, an automatic extension of the presentation entry occurs, suspending the new application until the previous title is processed (Arts. 17 to 20 and 323 of the Mortgage Law).

In 2 key points

  1. Suspension of qualification due to the existence of a contradictory or related prior title (Arts. 17 to 20 and 323 of the Mortgage Law). (arts. 17 a 20 y 323 de la Ley Hipotecaria)
  2. Extension of the presentation entry for 15 working days following the processing of the prior title (Art. 111 of the Mortgage Regulations). (art. 111 del Reglamento de la Ley Hipotecaria)

How it affects those involved

For owners applying for a tourist rental registration number, the existence of community agreements limiting this activity (pursuant to Art. 17.12 LPH) blocks the acquisition of said number if the agreement has not yet been duly registered or processed. This prevents the property from being offered on online platforms, as the registration number is an indispensable requirement for its commercialisation. Communities of owners retain their ability to limit tourist use through the modification of statutes.
