From this summer, people who have a house who want to rent their floor temporarily will be obliged to prove and justify the causality to formalize the contract and implement the unique digital lease star.
After the approval of the New housing legislation In May 2023, where long -term rents were established, it was a matter of time that the Temporary rentalBecause the standard left a legal vacuum and enjoyed a much more lax regulation than the usual lease contracts. And so it has been. It will be applied in July 2025 The new regulations for temporary rent.
More and more owners of real estate in urban cores and tourist destinations that opt for this temporary lease modality are more, because they usually have one Higher profitability those long -term lease contracts. “Temporary rent, not long stay” is the slogan that can be read in most online advertisements to lease a floor, for example in San Sebastián. According to data, more than half of the houses in the advertised capital of Guipuzcoan are advertised.
Given the growing trend of owners who choose this modality, the government of Spain has seen the need to set up a regulatory framework. Your goal? Increase the transparencyprotect tenants, avoid the abuse of owners and Increase the housing stock for long -term rent.
But .. what exactly is a seasonal rent? It is defined as a lease that can last From a few months to a yearSo distinguishing long -term contracts. Its use is not intended as the usual home of the tenant, but responds to one transient and justified needs. This modality is mainly designed for: Students In the academic period, employees In temporary assignments or professional activities of a fixed duration.
What changes will the new law make?
The justification of causality The contract will be the key, that is, the reasons for demonstrating temporality (work, studies …) must be argued. Also the tenant You can register the contract After the first month, reporting of 10 days, and the owner is not entitled to compensation, because it takes place in rental properties with long stays.
The duration of these types of contracts will not be longer than 9 months (If it were to consider a larger, usual housing rental), and within that limit the duration that you want can be freely agreed. Moreover, it will be the owner to accept Small repairs costs that are carried out in the house. In the case of long -term rental, the tenant adopts these types of schemes.
Digital innovation: the single window
Another novelties of the new regulations is that the owners are obliged to register their house in the Only digital lightning window. It is a centralized platform that will manage all special properties for temporary rent, such as tourist apartments, rooms or seasonal rental. Each accommodation unit will have to have a unique registration number, visible for all advertisements published on every digital platform.
The authorities are looking for this measure greater transparency. Similarly, both owners and tenants will have greater safety when carrying out transactions, and if the registration is mandatory, the operation of illegal accommodations will be difficult. Does not meet the requirements of the few seasonal rental register, can have serious consequences for owners, which achieves both economic and legal sanctions.
It should be noted that in the event that there is a Regional level law over temporary rent, this priority will give the regulation of the government of Spain.
