Holiday rental
This is a hypothetical question..if I was to buy a rural property and decided to rent it out as a holiday rental during the summer while I was away what do I need to do in order to have a license? Can anyone get one? Are there criteria to meet?
Re: Holiday rental
Hola
In the Cádiz area there are now inspections of the property - the inspector has a long list
directory of local information, emergency phone numbers, and a 24 hour phone number for the tenant if there are problems.
You must have a tourist plate outside
You must have a medical kit, fire extinguisher with signage, a complaints book and a yearly price list.
Drinkable water, and lots more things that off the top of my head i can't remember

Re: Holiday rental
And you need a license number which must be on Air BnB adverts. Nothing like the old days but doable if you want the extra work needed.
Re: Holiday rental
I did this a couple of years ago in the Malaga area. It was very straightforward - complaints book, fire extinguisher, first aid box and a lab based water test. They gave notice of the inspection and all very efficient.

Re: Holiday rental
What is the Spanish legal difference between a holiday let and a long term let (where presumably there are fewer onerous conditions)? For example does the property have to be let to the same person for say 3 moths or longer?

Re: Holiday rental
Make sure its got a Licence of First Ocupation. Any rural property over about 30 years old wont have one, as they didn't exist, and you have the delights of the DAFO process to go through - a joyful 6 months or so for an old rural property.Mobylette63 wrote:This is a hypothetical question..if I was to buy a rural property and decided to rent it out as a holiday rental during the summer while I was away what do I need to do in order to have a license?

Re: Holiday rental
The property will come with the certificate DAFO, I was wondering if its just a case of applying for the papers for tourism licence or can it be refused because of location maybe?
Re: Holiday rental
Theres a rural licence which is different and has different requirements than one in a town
Re: Holiday rental
From what ive read (probably B.S!!) It just depends on the contract you sign with them. Ie a seasonal let contract can be for any amount of time but isnt covered by the longterm let rules.ashtondav wrote:What is the Spanish legal difference between a holiday let and a long term let (where presumably there are fewer onerous conditions)?

Re: Holiday rental
Is that list for rural properties dxf? It makes me think that the rental properties in our valley do not have a licence as there's no drinking water here. In fact the places we rent when we go away in Spain do not meet all those requirements but are on airbnb. We still have to buy bottled water as we've been told the water is not ideal for drinking!

No A/C required yet; you have to have a window to open and i believe fans to put on. But as I said, it's early days, this coming year is the third year since the regulations came in
