(Viviendas de Uso Turístico – VUTs)
In March 2025, the Government of Andalusia introduced a new legal framework to regulate tourist-use housing (Viviendas de Uso Turístico – VUTs). The aim is to improve compliance, enhance urban living conditions, protect the rights of both tenants and property owners, and raise the quality of short-term rentals. Property owners must now comply with stricter rules regarding licensing, taxation, safety, and rental operations to continue legally offering short-term accommodations.
A major change is the mandatory registration of all tourist rentals in the Andalusian Tourism Registry (RTA). Properties without a valid registration number cannot be legally rented on platforms like Airbnb or Booking.com. In addition, new habitability and safety requirements have been set, including fire prevention measures, ventilation standards, and guest information protocols.
Protect Your Investment
The new regulations are designed to balance the economic benefits of tourism with the need for affordable local housing. Stricter compliance measures are intended to prevent illegal rentals, protect tenant rights, and ensure fair competition among property owners. The rise in tourist rentals has contributed to increased housing costs, over-tourism, and urban congestion, underscoring the need for better regulation and control.
For property owners renting out homes for short-term stays, these changes introduce more complex compliance requirements but offer greater legal clarity and stability.
Municipalities now have more control over short-term rentals, allowing local authorities to limit or restrict new registrations in high-demand areas to prevent over-tourism. Failure to comply with these regulations can lead to substantial fines, legal actions, license revocations, or restrictions on rental operations.
