Royal Decree 1312/2024 was created, published in December 2024, which establishes a Single Registry of Short-term Leases and the Digital One-Stop-Shop to manage everything centrally.

It came into force on 2 January 2025, with a transitional period until 1 July 2025, when it becomes fully enforceable.

WHO IT APPLIES TO:

Any short-term tenancy of less than 30 days, including:

* Full or room only tourist dwellings.

* Temporary accommodation: boats, motorhomes, cottages...

* Stays for work, study or health reasons.

Excludes: non-profit rentals (e.g. to friends), hotels, campsites, garages or altruistic shelters.

REGISTRATION AND COMPULSORY NUMBER (NRUA)

Each accommodation must have a Short Term Rental Registration Number (NRUA), obtained via the One-Stop-Shop (Registrar's Association or Land Registry/Property Register).

The procedure includes: cadastral reference, location, type of contract, regional/municipal licence (if applicable) and capacity. Approximate price: 27 €.

A provisional NRUA is obtained at the time of application, and the definitive one after approval; it must be renewed and updated annually.

OBLIAGATIONS FOR PLATFORMS:

Portals such as Airbnb, Booking, Vrbo, etc., are obliged to:

* Verify that each listing includes the NRUA.

* Remove ads without NRUA within 48 hours.

* Transmit monthly activity data to the registry.
