The Supreme Court has handed down Judgement Nr. 620/2026, 19th May (reported in the media on 21 May), in which it has definitively annulled the obligation to obtain the Unique Short-Term Rental Registration Number (NRUA). The High Court concluded that the central Government overstepped the autonomous communities’ competence
s by attempting to impose a national registry on top of those already in operation in the islands. It is worth highlighting that the Supreme Court itself used the Canary Islands as a key argument for annulling the national registry.
