Mid-Term Rentals: Important Legal Notice
Mid-term rentals are intended for guests with a genuine non-tourist reason for their stay — for example work, study, or relocation — not as a substitute for a holiday booking. In many countries, a stay that’s actually for vacation purposes may not legally qualify as a mid-term/seasonal rental, regardless of how it’s booked.
Canary Islands— Since Ley 7/2026 (amending Ley 6/2025, LOSUTV) took effect on 1 August 2026, any booking of 31 days or less in the Canary Islands is presumed by law to be a tourist rental — regardless of your actual purpose — unless the owner can show otherwise. If you’re booking under 31 days for a non-tourist reason, expect to be asked to state that reason before the booking is confirmed, and to sign a proper seasonal lease agreement rather than a standard rental contract.
Mainland Spain — Spanish tenancy law (the Ley de Arrendamientos Urbanos) draws its own distinctions between short tourist stays and longer-term lets, and the rules can affect how a booking is treated depending on its length and purpose. Requirements vary by region — always check with the host what applies to their specific property.
Other destinations— Similar restrictions may exist in other countries where we haven’t yet confirmed the specifics. If you’re booking a mid-term stay outside Spain, we’d still recommend checking local short-let/tenancy rules for that destination.
Our general recommendation: whatever the destination, get a written contract for any mid-term stay, and be upfront about your reason for travel — it protects both you and the host if a booking is ever questioned.
