The first cycle of Annual deposit of the information model of short-term leases (February–March 2026) has already passed, and has left a new scenario for thousands of owners and managers: registration notifications, correction requirements and, in some cases, cancellations of the marginal note of the NRUA.

If you have received a communication from the Property Registry related to your Single Lease Registry Number, the question you are interested in answering is very specific: Can I recover my NRUA or have I lost it?

The answer depends on which of these three states your number is:

Suspension — Temporary, reactive situation if you correct in time.
Withdrawal — Cancellation of the marginal note.
Rehabilitation — The novelty of 2026: even with the NRUA removed, you have a window to recover it without starting from scratch.

Let's go for parts.

The regulatory framework on a screen

Before entering the practical assumptions, it is convenient to be clear about the four rules that are at stake:

Royal Decree 1312/2024, Article 10 — Regulates the control regime of the NRUA, the terms of correction and the effects of non-compliance.
VAU/1560/2025 Order — Develops the annual informative model.
Regulation (EU) 2024/1028 — Directly applicable, requires prior notification, motivation and reasonable time to rectify.
DGSJFP Binding Resolution No. 234/2026 (February 24, 2026) — Qualifies several key points and, above all, opens the door to rehabilitation.

No owner or manager must interpret a registration notification without having these four rules present, because each one provides a piece other than the puzzle.

This entry is based on Legal analysis published by Juan Antonio Mateos At RentalViviendavacacional.com, we recommend you to go if you need an individualized study of your case. What we offer here is reading OPERATIVE From the manager side: What each state means in your day to day and what you have to have controlled in your system to avoid reaching this point.

Status 1 — Suspension: A watch with a clock

Suspension is the least serious form of registration response. The NRUA still exists, but remains inoperative until the detected defect is corrected. In practice in March and April 2026, registrars are applying the suspension especially in four situations:

a) Formal defects in the deposited file

The model is presented within the deadline, but contains errors: unanonymized leases, inconsistencies in dates, poorly generated XBRL file, identification of the confusing unit. The registrar grants 7 business days to correct (Article 10.2 of RD 1312/2024). If you correct in time, the suspension is lifted automatically.

b) Doubts founded on the purpose of the lease

It is the most conflictive assumption. When a NRUA is registered as non-tourist But the deposit shows a pattern of short stays — let's put 5 to 30 days, repeated, without an accredited temporary cause —, the registrar may suspect covert tourist use. In this case, complementary documentation is requested: contracts with express cause, labor or academic proofs of the lessee, any real proof of the declared temporary nature. If the documentation supports the category, the NRUA is maintained. If not, the suspension scales to withdrawal.

c) Discrepancies with cross-platform data

It is not yet a general practice, but there are already cases. If the descriptions published on the platforms (Airbnb, Booking, etc.) do not fit with the stated purpose in the annual model, there may be preventive suspension.

d) Correct registry incidents

The typical example: a change of ownership that was not updated in the registry before presenting the deposit. It is regularized and the NRUA remains active.

Practice Rule A suspension is a second chance with a deadline. Don't let her beat her.

Status 2 — Withdrawal: Cancellation of the marginal note

Withdrawal is the serious scenario. implies the cancellation of the marginal note of the NRUA, the immediate communication to the Single leases window and the order to the platforms to remove the ads. For commercial purposes, the property is outside the short-term rental legal circuit.

The most frequent assumptions are:

Lack of deposit of the annual model. Here the DGSJFP 234/2026 resolution has provided an important nuance: it is not an automatic withdrawal, but a withdrawal prior requirement with a period of 7 business days to deposit. If the 7 days without presentation expire, the marginal note is cancelled.

Verified misuse. When the annual deposit or the crossings with platforms show that the operational reality of the property does not coincide with the registered category and, required by the owner, fails to prove what was declared.

Persistent non-compliance with access requirements. For example, a statutory prohibition of the community of owners registered in the registry, supervening urban incompatibility or loss of the regional or local enabling title.

firm administrative resolution of an Autonomous Community or City Council ordering the cancellation of the property of the corresponding Tourist Registry.

Status 3 — Rehabilitation: The 18-month window

This is the most important change of 2026 and the reason why it is convenient not to assume that a withdrawal is the end of the road.

Resolution DGSJFP 234/2026 interprets Article 6.8 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1028 — and the European principle of "only once" (Once-only Principle) — In the sense that a retired NRUA can rehabilitate simply by presenting the informative model within the 18 months following the cancellation of the marginal note.

What does this mean in practical terms?

Not You have to re-contribute the writing.
Not You have to re-contribute the enabling license or title.
Not You have to resubmit DNI or enabling documentation already filed.

The Registry electronically retains the documentation during those 18 months (Article 5.5 of the EU Regulation). It is enough to formally submit the application — the principle of rogation is maintained — and to deposit the missing information model.

Conditions for rehabilitation:

That the civil or administrative circumstances of the property have not changed (title, urban planning, community).
that a new impeditious cause has not appeared between the withdrawal and the request for rehabilitation.
That the application is submitted before the expiration of the 18 months counted from the cancellation.

After that period, the archived documentation is considered expired and you have to start from scratch, with a complete new application procedure.

Operational Checklist: How to avoid getting to this point

Most of the suspensions and withdrawals that are being seen in March and April 2026 could have been avoided with basic operational discipline. If you manage one or more NRUA, make sure your system meets these points:

1. Consistent category. The registered purpose of the NRUA (tourist or non-tourism) must coincide with how the property is published on the platforms and with the real duration of the stays. If you have a "non-tourist" NRUA with mostly short stays, you are generating a risk pattern for the next annual deposit.

2. Structured record of each lease. For the annual information model you need, for each CRU and for each NRUA: the lease ratio for the year, its purpose, number of guests and dates of entry and exit. This must be captured during the year, not rebuilt after February.

3. Correct anonymization. The listing is anonymized. Make sure that your platform generates the model meeting this requirement and does not export personal data of the tenant.

4. Accessible supporting documentation. If you receive a request for "founded doubts", you will have to provide contracts signed with express cause, proof of the alleged temporaryness (labor, academic, medical) and any evidence of the declared purpose. Having all that scattered in emails, WhatsApp or local folders is the recipe to fail within 7 days.

5. Alignment with the VUD. Remember that the Annual Report of the Digital Single Window and the deposit of the NRUA information model are separate but consistent obligations. The inconsistencies between what was declared in VUD and what was deposited in the Property Registry are material of discrepancy for the registrars.

6. Calendar of notices. The next annual deposit will be in February 2027 (on the 2026 financial year). It is not something that is improvised on the 27th. Schedule the internal notices with margin.

Where does seshospedajes.es fit?

Our platform covers two of the three most important short-term rental compliance obligations in Spain:

Daily shipment to the SES. Lodgings Headquarters From the Ministry of the Interior (Signed XML) — We are directly integrated with the official headquarters so that you do not have to enter manually.
Annual report VUD of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Agenda.

And here is the piece that interests you most for the annual deposit: within the management module we maintain the Full traceability of each lease Throughout the exercise — dates of entry and exit, number of guests, declared purpose, NRUA and CRU associated, platform of origin and internal reference. When February arrives, you export the file ready to import into the Application N2 of registrars from Spain and deposit all the movements of the exercise without touching them again one by one. What it would take days to rebuild from scattered reserves, you have generated from the first guest of the year.

If you are going to manage the 2026 cycle with an Excel without version control, we tell you bluntly: you are playing the NRUA. And if you've already lost it, remember that You are 18 months old To rehabilitate it under the conditions that we have described — but the clock counts from the date of the cancellation marginal note, not since you found out.

When to go to the lawyer

Three situations in which you should not try to solve it alone:

Requirement for "founded doubts" about the purpose of the lease. Here it is not about uploading a document — it is about building a file that legally supports the declared category.
Motivated withdrawal in misuse. It has consequences beyond the NRUA (potential regional or municipal sanctions, problems with platforms, possible tax claims).
discrepancy between what the registry says and the urban reality or the community of owners. Any conflict that touches regional regulations, municipal ordinance or statutes requires a specific analysis.

For those cases, we recommend you go to a specialist. The article on which this guide is based is Juan Antonio Mateos Mateos, Specialist in Tourist Rental, one of the references in Spain in law applied to this sector.
