How to Generate and Submit the VAU Annual Report (NRUA)

What is the VAU report?

The VAU report (Orden VAU/1560/2025) is the annual short-term rental activity report required for properties registered with an NRUA (Número de Registro Único de Arrendamiento).

Chekin generates the required CSV file, which must then be imported into the official N2 application, where the final XBRL/ZIP file is created and submitted.
