If you are planning to rent out your home on a short-term basis you must register the property with the Andalusia local authorities. Property owners must now be fully compliant and follow a range of rules and regulations to avoid fines, that can result in the loss of property with extreme violations. Typical fines up to €2,000 can be issued for light offences, with serious breaches incurring €2,001 to €18,000 fines that can result in your rental license being revoked
It’s now a legal requirement to register and obtain a valid VFT number before placing your property into the rental market. Please note you must have a VTF number in place even if you’re planning to only rent the property on a short-term basis up to a maximum of 60 days with paying guests.
Also, when renting out the property you must adhere to additional regulations that include ensuring the accommodation has suitable air-conditioning for the summer months and heating equipment throughout the winter. Every application submitted for letting approval is reviewed by the authorities with a full property inspection conducted on-site. Usually, after submitting a registration form the whole process takes around 3-months.
