Legal advice from lawyers Torrox – Torre del Mar – Axarquia: New regulation for apartments with touristic purposes
Article co-sponsored by Malaga Estates.
Your lawyer lawyer about new regulation for apartments with touristic purposes. The Junta de Andalucía has just published the Decree 28/2016, which hereafter will regulate the functioning and controlling of the so-called ‘apartments with touristic purposes’ in Andalusia.
Based on the following list of characteristics it is possible to differentiate the apartments for touristic purposes, as defined by this rule, from others:
– They are located on land for residential purposes (it is not possible to establish them on land where urban regulation determines a service usage, such as, commercial, office or hotel purposes).
– There must be an established price for the accommodation.
– The service should be offered regularly and for touristic purposes.
– There are two modalities of apartments for touristic purposes: complete modality or per rooms.
Besides, the Decree highlights four cases where the regulation would not apply:
1. When there is no economical remuneration for the touristic accommodation.
2. When the booking period exceeds two consecutive months by the same user. In this scenario an existing regulation for Let will apply.
3. When the apartment is located on rural land, with its own specific rule.
4. When there are groups of three or more apartments that belong to the same owner or operator located in the same building or group of buildings, contiguous or not, since the regulation for ‘touristic apartments’ would be already in force.
From the 11th of May 2016, it will be necessary to register at the Andalusian Touristic Registry to be entitled to offer an apartment for touristic purposes. Nevertheless, a one-year period has been granted for the given apartments to meet the necessary requirements as outlined by the new regulation.
