The new short-term rental regulations in Spain, which took effect in August 2024, include the following key points:
Rental limitation: According to the law, property owners can rent out their homes for short-term tourist purposes for a maximum of 60 days per year. This restriction applies when renting is not the owner’s primary activity. The rule covers the entire property rather than individual rooms and applies regardless of whether the property is rented to one family or several tenants throughout the year

Main source of income: If renting out the property is the owner’s primary source of income, these properties are subject to stricter regulations and must be registered as professional rental units. In this case, the owner must comply with all tax and legal obligations, which makes the process more complex but allows for longer rental periods

These changes aim to regulate the short-term rental market, prevent illegal operations, and improve coordination between tourism platforms and local authorities.
