Madrid Assembly Passes Tourism Law, VUT Effect Unclear
The Comunidad de Madrid's summary adds hostels, insurance and a revised penalty regime but never mentions tourist flats. The BOCM text and start date are still missing.
Regulation Radar
The Asamblea de Madrid approved a “nueva Ley de Ordenación del Turismo” on 22 October 2026, with PP and Vox voting in favour. For a Madrid short-term-rental operator, the practical answer today is: do not change anything yet. The Comunidad de Madrid’s own summary does not mention viviendas de uso turístico (VUT), and as of 27 October 2026 we found no BOCM publication, no entry-into-force date and no text of the approved law.
