Brokers and owners on hook to furnish registry number when promoting rental properties

Habitatge turistic a formentera reduxFormentera's Offices of Land and Tourism announce that, in line with articles 19.n and 23.7 of a law passed July 19 and known as “8/2012”, homeowners and brokers alike are required to provide property-rental platforms the registry number that identifies their, or their customer's, rented holiday home.

In the event that number is not available, they must supply the number given at the moment of declaring intent to rent, a procedure which involves a document called DRIAT, or Due Declaration of Commencement of Tourist Activity.

Failure to comply constitutes a violation that can entail fins of up to €4,000 for property-owners and home-rental platforms.
