Seasonal Rentals in Lanzarote
The profitable and safe strategy against the New Housing Law
Turn legal uncertainty into your biggest business opportunity with GESCAV
The real estate market in the Canary Islands has changed. With the approval of the new Housing Law and the restrictions on vacation rentals (VV), many owners in Lanzarote are at a crossroads: How to make my property profitable without facing impossible bureaucracy, community bans or the risk of blocking my house for 5 years?
At GESCAV, we don’t see problems, we see solutions. We open the door to Mid-Term Rental, the modality that is redefining real estate investment in the islands.
What exactly is Seasonal Rental and why is it legal?
The key: It is not rented to “live” permanently or for “tourism”, but to cover a temporary housing need.
Regulation of seasonal leasing in Spain
Unlike vacation rentals (tourist) or long term rentals (habitual residence), seasonal rentals are governed by the will of the parties and the Civil Code, covered under the use other than as a dwelling (Article 3 of the LAU).
The essence of seasonal rental: accommodation without tourist use
This means that you do NOT need a tourist license or VV plates, since you are not offering a lodging service, but a civil lease for a determined period of time (usually between 32 days and 11 months).
Advantages of Temporary Rentals vs. Long Term and Vacation Rentals
Seasonal rentals are in the “sweet spot” of profitability and legal security in the Canary Islands:
| Feature | Vacation Rental (VV) | Long Stay (Traditional) | Seasonal Rental (GESCAV) |
|---|---|---|---|
| License | Autonomous Vacation License + NRA | Not required | NRA |
| Duration | Days / Weeks | Minimum 5 years (by law) | Flexible (3 to 11 months) |
| Tenant Profile | Tourist (high wear and tear) | Residents (risk of non-payment) | Nomads, Companies, Civil Servants |
| Profitability | High, but not guaranteed | Low / Medium | Medium / High and stable |
| Unpaid Risk | Nil (prepayment) | High (long processes) | Minimal (prepayment) |
