Vivienda de uso turístico (VUT)

Administrative category designating a property intended for short-stay tourist rental (1–30 days). In the Valencia region, equivalent to the VV (Vacation Housing) licence. Requirements: habitability certificate, minimum equipment, energy certificate, complaint form, not being in a declared saturated zone, and no prohibition in the community statutes. The massive presence of VUT in specific areas has generated debate about tourism saturation and housing prices for local residents.
