Ban on tourist rentals: appeal against suspension of registration number dismissed

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has declared an appeal against a land registrar's decision inadmissible. The registrar had suspended the assignment of a unique registration number for short-term tourist rentals due to an express prohibition within the community's statutes. The resolution is based on the principle of legal consistency with previous dismissals issued by this Directorate.

In 1 key point

  1. Two-month deadline to appeal via a claim before the Civil Court of the provincial capital (Articles 325 and 328 of the Mortgage Law). (art. 325 y 328 de la Ley Hipotecaria)

How it affects those involved

For the appellant (owner), the ruling confirms that it is impossible to obtain a registration number for tourist rentals if the community's statutes prohibit such activity. Property owners in communities with restrictive statutes remain barred from tourist activities. Interested parties have a two-month period to file a claim before the Civil Court (under Articles 325 and 328 of the Mortgage Law).
