Ban on tourist rentals in communities: registration number denied due to prohibition in bylaws

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has dismissed an appeal seeking a unique registration number for short-term tourist rentals. The decision is based on the fact that the property's community bylaws contain an express prohibition of such activity, following the precedent set by previous resolutions from this Directorate.

In 2 key points

  1. Dismissal of the appeal due to consistency with previous dismissive resolutions (texto fuente)
  2. Two-month period to appeal via a claim before the Civil Court (arts. 325 y 328 de la Ley Hipotecaria)

How it affects those involved

For homeowners in communities where bylaws prohibit tourist rentals, this resolution confirms the impossibility of obtaining the registration number required for the activity (resolution of 11 December 2025). Interested parties have a two-month period to file a claim before the competent Civil Court (arts. 325 and 328 of the Mortgage Law).
