In the following article I hope to provide you with help in the procedures and in the management of the documentation required to carry out the registration of homes for tourist use (VUT) in San Javier

What is a home for tourist use?

Tourist use dwellings (VUT) refer to those dwellings that are rented to tourists, but that maintain their residential rather than commercial character. Unlike conventional rentals, tourist rentals are always made for short periods and with a pre-established duration.

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

In the Region of Murcia, houses for tourist use (VUT) can be rented in their entirety or by rooms. If you opt for room rental, only a natural person who is registered and has his habitual residence in the house where the activity takes place may carry out the exploitation.

What is needed to register my home as VUT?

Before renting your home as tourist accommodation, it is crucial to guarantee the consent of the community of neighbors to carry out the tourist rental. If tenants need to go through common areas to access the home, it will be necessary to obtain the approval of the community of owners.

In addition, it is essential that the house has the certificate of habitability to be able to use it for tourist rental. In other words, only a home that meets all legal requirements can be offered as tourist accommodation.
