Understanding the New Rental License Rules for Property Owners in Costa del Sol

Recent regulations introduced by the Andalusian government significantly impact short-term holiday rentals in Costa del Sol. If you own property in this area, it is essential to understand how these rules affect your property and investment.

Key Changes to Rental Licensing

  1. Mandatory Registration for Tourist Rentals
    All properties used for short-term rentals must be registered with the Andalusian Tourism Registry. Failure to do so can result in penalties.
  2. Two-Property Limit
    Property owners are now limited to renting a maximum of two tourist properties. Investors with more than two properties may need to adjust their portfolios to comply.
  3. Community Approval and Local Restrictions
    Properties in shared buildings require approval from the community of owners. Local councils can also impose additional restrictions, which vary by area.
  4. New Compliance Standards
    Properties must meet safety and habitability standards, such as fire alarms and essential facilities. Older properties may require updates to meet these regulations.
  5. Administrative Certificate for Older Buildings
    Owners of older buildings without proper documentation must obtain an administrative certificate to continue using them as tourist rentals.
  6. Penalties for Non-Compliance
    Non-compliance can lead to fines between €30,000 and €150,000. Increased inspections make adherence to regulations essential.
