NRUA abolished – What the Supreme Court ruling means
The Spanish Supreme Court has fully annulled the National Register for Short‑Term Rentals (NRUA) due to the central government exceeding its constitutional powers. As a result, the planned national annual reporting obligation for tourist rentals is no longer applicable. Competence remains exclusively with the Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands and the local municipalities (Ayuntamientos).
What has been abolished?
The NRUA was intended to function as a national register for short‑term rentals. It would have created an additional registration and annual reporting requirement for property owners. The Supreme Court has declared this regulation null and void.
What remains in place?
The Ventanilla Única Digital remains active as a technical platform for data transmission. It serves statistical purposes only and does not impose any registration or reporting obligation on property owners.
