Renting out your home while on vacation requires careful consideration of legal requirements and obligations. Here's what you need to know to do it properly:

Legal Requirements

• Obtain a Certificate of Occupancy (First Occupation License)
• Register your property in the tourist rental registry
• Get a tourist rental identification number
• Submit a responsible declaration of compliance
• Comply with regional time limitations for short-term rentals

Community Obligations

• Notify your property administrator
• Inform the homeowners' association
• Provide emergency contact information
• Maintain good relationships with neighbors
• Be prepared for potential increased community fees

Compliance Considerations

1. Check local regulations specific to your region
2. Understand minimum and maximum rental periods
3. Ensure property meets safety and habitability standards
4. Keep proper documentation of all registrations
5. Follow tax reporting requirements

Before renting your property, verify all regional requirements as they vary significantly across different Autonomous Communities. Maintain open communication with your neighbors and provide them with necessary contact information to address any concerns that may arise during tenant stays.

Remember that tourist rental properties may be subject to different tax obligations and community regulations than regular residential properties. Stay informed about any changes in local legislation that might affect your rental activity.

Keep detailed records of all registrations, licenses, and tenant agreements for tax purposes and legal compliance. Regular property maintenance and updates will help ensure continued compliance with habitability requirements.
