How to register a tourist apartment

Do you have an apartment of your own and are you thinking of getting some profitability by renting it? Well, the first thing you should know is that you need to register it as "tourist housing". To do this, you must follow a series of procedures, complying with the legal regulations relating to housing for tourist use. In today's article, we detail the steps to follow to register a tourist apartment.

Procedures to register a tourist apartment

As we say, the first thing is to register the house in the register of tourist accommodation of the corresponding Autonomous Community. The steps to follow will depend on the number of accommodations you want to register.

Tourism regulation is the responsibility of the Autonomous Communities, but this first procedure is mandatory, although its nomenclature varies. In most cases, in short, it refers to registering the accommodation as a dwelling for tourist use.

For example, in the Valencian Community, if we register between 1 and 4 accommodations, we must present a responsible declaration regarding the use of tourist homes. If we want to register from 5 homes, the responsible declaration will refer to the activity of housing management companies.

The requirements for a home to be considered as accommodation for tourist use are:

• The house must have a certificate of occupancy or occupancy license
• It must be fully equipped with everything necessary for immediate use (furniture, utensils, appliances) and perfectly clean
• The tourist use must be transferred by a tourist accommodation management company
• Whenever services of the hospitality industry are presented, when the owner makes the accommodation available for tourist use
• When the property is advertised through channels and platforms of the sector (magazines, web portals) to rent it
