What is a home for tourist use?

Tourist use dwellings (VUT) are those dwellings that are rented to tourists, preserving their residential rather than commercial character. Unlike traditional rentals, tourist rentals always have a short and pre-established duration.

It is common for these types of homes to share a building with permanent residents who are not involved in the vacation rental. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain the approval of the community of owners to carry out the activity of housing for tourist use (VUT) in the building.

In the Region of Murcia, homes for tourist use (VUT) have the possibility of being rented both in their entirety and by rooms. However, if it is decided to opt for room rental, only one natural person, who is registered and has his habitual residence in the house where the activity is carried out, will be allowed to be responsible for the exploitation.

What is needed to register my home as VUT?

Before renting your home as tourist accommodation, it is essential to ensure that the community of neighbors has given their consent to carry out said rental activity. If tenants need to cross common areas to access the home, it will be necessary to obtain prior approval from the community of owners.

Likewise, it is an essential requirement that the house have the certificate of occupancy to be able to use it for tourist rental. In other words, only those homes that meet all the established legal requirements are allowed to be offered as tourist accommodation.
