Renting out your property legally
So, you have a beautiful home in Tenerife
and you're thinking about renting it out?
Chances are, you’ve heard of the Vivienda Vacacional license — and maybe you’re wondering if you need one, how it works, or where to even begin.
Here’s the short version:
If you want to rent out your apartment or house short-term to holiday guests, you need the right license. And for most private properties, that’s a Vivienda Vacacional (VV).
But don’t worry — you don’t need to figure it all out yourself.
We handle it all, so you don’t have to
What is Vivienda Vacational
A VV license allows you to legally rent out your property for short stays (less than 3 months per guest). It’s designed for private holiday homes — not hotels or tourist complexes — and it’s what platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com now expect you to have.
Sounds simple? In theory, yes. In practice... it comes with quite a few steps.
Check with your community: Some apartment buildings have internal regulations (estatutos de comunidad) that prohibit or restrict short-term rentals. Before doing anything else, you'll need written confirmation that your building allows it.
Request your VV license: This application is submitted to the Canarian Government, and it requires a list of supporting documents — including an occupancy certificate (cédula de habitabilidad), ID, ... Every case is a little different.
Register with the National Tourism Registry: Once your VV license is approved, you’ll need a Código de Registro Nacional de Turismo — a national registration number required for all legal short-term rentals in Spain. It must be shown on your listings.
Declare your rental activity: You’ll need to notify the local police (Guardia Civil) and tax authorities that your property will be rented short-term. That means filing forms, staying compliant with guest registrations, and keeping everything above board.
Get ready for guests: Photos, listings, pricing, booking platforms, guest communication, cleaning logistics, check-ins, reviews, maintenance…
Let’s just say: this is where the work really starts.

Can’t I just do it myself?
Of course you can. You can also manage bookings, guest messages, key exchanges, cleaning teams, pricing, reviews, maintenance... all from another country.
(Or — you can hand it over to a team who does it for you.)
Let’s be honest: most owners don’t want to become full-time property managers. You shouldn’t have to. We’re here to protect your time, your property, and your guest reviews — while helping you earn more, not just rent it out.
Is your property a good fit?
That depends on a few things — like whether it’s in a residential area, part of a touristic complex, and if you already have basic certifications in place. But don’t worry about the details now, when working with us we'll take care of every step to get your investment running.
Let’s take a look together. A quick chat is all we need to point you in the right direction.

The key difference lies in how the property is classified and regulated, both also need a different set of documentation to be eligible for renting. Vivienda Vacacional licenses apply to individual apartments or homes rented short-term, while Touristic Complexes involve a building or group of units operated commercially.
Yes. To legally rent out a property short-term in Tenerife, you must have the correct licenses and meet certain criteria — either as a Vivienda Vacacional or a registered tourist accommodation. We can help you determine which one applies to your property and guide you through the process.
Absolutely. Many of our owners live outside of Spain. That’s why we offer a full-service solution — from guest check-ins and communication to cleaning and maintenance.

We handle it all: free professional real estate photography, professional listings, bookings, guest communication, cleaning, maintenance coordination, pricing strategy, and reporting. Our goal is to make your rental experience completely hands-off — and worry-free.
Rental income depends on property type, location, seasonality, and demand. Once we know more about your property, we’ll give you a clear projection — no unrealistic promises, just data-backed strategy.
