STR REGULATIONS

Madrid operators:
Don't let noise put your STR licence at risk

Noise complaints can put a property on the city’s radar under local noise rules. Minut alerts you before it becomes a problem.

Why noise management matters

Madrid requires a tourist licence for any rental under 30 days, and the city actively enforces compliance through inspections and complaints. Here's why noise management matters:

Your licence can be revoked

Madrid's permit system requires tourist rentals to maintain compliance at all times. Noise complaints trigger inspections, and inspections can trigger licence reviews.

Noise problems can escalate faster than you think

A guest who doesn’t realize they’re being loud, a pool party that runs late, a group in a ground‑floor apartment. By the time neighbors complain, it’s already logged.

A complaint without evidence is your word against theirs

When a noise dispute reaches the council or a licence review, documented records of what actually happened carry weight. Operators without them have little to stand on.

Respond before a complaint is made

Real-time alerts

Minut detects elevated noise levels and sends real-time alerts. It can even message guests on your behalf, before a complaint is made.

Every alert, response, and resolution is logged automatically, giving you documented evidence of proactive management.

Frequently asked questions

Does Minut record audio?

No. Minut measures decibel levels only, it doesn’t have a microphone and cannot record or store audio. Your guests' privacy is fully protected.

Can I manage multiple properties from one account?

Yes. Minut is built for portfolios so you can monitor all your properties from a single dashboard.

Will a noise log help if a complaint is disputed?

Yes. A timestamped record showing you detected and responded to a noise event is strong evidence of responsible management.
