The autonomous region of Valenciana introduced on 8 August 2024 New holiday rental rules.<\/a> This article discusses the main changes for holiday rentals in Costa Blanca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clarified definition of holiday rental<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Holiday rental means: houses or flats that as a whole<\/strong>, regardless of type, ready-to-go<\/strong> are offered, for a fee<\/strong>, for a period equal to or shorter than 10 days<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means it is a holiday rental as soon as you rent out a fully equipped house or flat for a period equal to or less than 10 days. Rental periods of 11 days or more are expressly excluded from holiday letting legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greater legal certainty by municipalities<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Under the previous regulations, councils could assess on a case-by-case basis whether or not a property could be granted a rental licence - actually a registration of the property as a holiday home. Under the new legislation, municipal councils are given the powers to impose far-reaching restrictions, but on condition that there are clear criteria that are published in advance. That way, property investors will have more legal certainty at the time of purchasing a property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A rental licence remains valid for a limited period of time<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A rental licence will remain from the entry into force of the new regulations for Valid for 5 years.<\/strong> All existing licences therefore still have a term of five years, after which they must be renewed. The conditions of renewal depend on when your licence was granted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, after the expiry of the validity period, you will have to obtain permission from the municipality again. In addition, you may have to revisit whether co-owners' association has not imposed restrictions in the meantime. If so, you will not be able to renew your rental licence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Houses with letting licences that are not let for one year will be removed from the register. Houses that are not let within two months of applying for registration of a new rental licence will also lose the rental licence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A rental licence no longer transfers with the owner<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Because a property is registered as a holiday home, it was possible to transfer a rental licence on sale. After all, you are buying a property registered as a holiday home. This principle is now set aside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the entry into force of the new legislation, a rental licence will be linked to the owner. Specifically, therefore, a rental licence will no longer be transferable by a new owner. The new owner will have to go through the procedure for obtaining a rental licence again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Communicating cadastral reference<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In your contracts with tenants, you will now have to provide the cadastral reference of the property. All owners of a property with a rental licence have time until 31 December 2024 to pass on the cadastral reference to the registry. Properties that have not provided a cadastral reference after this will lose the rental licence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If no cadastral reference is available, for example in the case of a recent new construction, the 'c\u00f3digo registral \u00fanico' can be used.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
