Ban on tourist use in communities: invalidly convened agreements cannot prevent rental registration

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has analysed the validity of a community agreement prohibiting the tourist use of dwellings. It has been determined that a prohibition agreement is void if it is not expressly included in the meeting agenda (Art. 16.2 LPH) or if it fails to reach the required majority. In this instance, the prohibition cannot be used to deny the assignment of a short-term rental registration number (Art. 9.2 RD 1312/24).

In 2 key points

  1. Invalidity of community agreements if voting items are not included in the agenda (Art. 16.2 LPH) (art. 16.2 LPH)
  2. Requirement of an enabling title for the application for a rental registration number (Art. 9.2 RD 1312/24) (art. 9.2 RD 1312/24)

How it affects those involved

For owners of properties with tourist licences, community agreements attempting to prohibit this activity without strictly complying with the agenda and majorities required by the LPH are invalid (Art. 16.2 LPH). For owners' communities, any restriction on tourist use must be formally valid, reliably notified, and approved under legal requirements to be enforceable before the Land Registry.
