Rental Registration Number (NRA)
Do you rent your property to tourists or for short-term stays?
​
As of July 1, 2025, a new regulation (Royal Decree 1312/2024) has come into force requiring all property owners who rent out their homes for short-term stays, including tourist rentals, to officially register them and obtain a Rental Registration Number (NRA). This number is mandatory in order to legally advertise the property on any digital platform or promotional channel.

What is the Rental Registration Number?
It is an official code that identifies your property as legally registered for tourist rental (1), seasonal rental (2), room rental (3). If local regulations in your region allow all three rental types, you would need three separate codes for the same property. This number must be included in all advertisements and platforms where the property is promoted.
Failure to include it may lead to significant financial penalties.
The purpose of this registration is to ensure that tourist-use properties comply with legal, tax, and safety requirements set by the authorities.
Which accommodations are exempt?
Properties classified as second residences or those intended for long-term residential leases are exempt.​
Also excluded are hotels, aparthotels, motels, hostels, campsites, and rural guesthouses.
​
Additionally, any tourist, seasonal, or room rental promoted EXCLUSIVELY OFFLINE is not required to have the RRN.

Frequent asked Questions
1. What types of properties are subject to this regulation?​​​
The regulation applies to all properties rented out for short-term stays for profit and advertised on digital platforms as defined in Article 3 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1028.
This includes platforms that allow guests to enter into rental contracts remotely with hosts for short-term stays and where payment is made entirely through digital means.
It is absolutely mandatory to have the Rental Registration Number (NRA) in order to advertise your property on platforms such as Airbnb, Booking, etc.
​
2. What if I rent outside of these platforms?
​
If you offer short-term stays but only promote your property on websites that function as simple virtual showcases (i.e., those that do not allow online booking or payment), then you do not need the NRA.
​
Examples include fotocasa, idealista, real estate websites without a booking engine, or offline channels such as traditional real estate agencies, flyers, posters, or word of mouth.
​
However, since the registration is valid indefinitely, we recommend obtaining the NRA for your property to avoid any future legal uncertainty or complications.
​
3. What happens if I rent my property without an NRA?
​
Renting without an NRA can lead to administrative sanctions, including fines and even the suspension of tourist activity.
​
Complying with this requirement is mandatory to operate legally.
​
4. Must the NRA be displayed on rental platforms like Airbnb or Booking?
​​
Yes. Once obtained, the NRA must be clearly displayed in all advertisements and platforms where the property is promoted, such as Airbnb, Booking, or similar websites. This ensures transparency and legal compliance.
​
5. Do I need a separate NRA for each property I rent?
​
Yes. Each individual short-term rental unit must have its own Rental Registration Number, even if they are all managed by the same owner or company.
