When a property is being made available free of charge, is it appropriate to use the word "let" or would one of the other suggestions on my previous question be more appropriate in this instance?
"Atendiendo al supuesto planteado, consistente en la cesión gratuita de una vivienda por una empresa a favor de sus trabajadores, entendemos que no se dan todos los requisitos para que se pueda considerar como actividad de apartamento turístico, siempre y cuando se pueda acreditar documentalmente la relación contractual laboral de los usuarios del piso con el titular, así como que la cesión del mismo se hace de forma gratuita."

let/let out free of charge
is the term that I would use. "Letting" often (but not always) implies for money, but expressed this way is perfectly OK

: we should be careful about any connotation of an arrendamiento attracting statutory protection: http://vlex.es/tags/contrato-arrendamiento-gratuito-269922

we should indeed, but as the text is the holiday letting law itself I don't think any alert reader would make that connotation

Comment: "I think this is probably ok in this instance given that it is qualified by "free of charge". Thank you!"

I think you've answered your own question.

(UK) free licence to occupy
I'd still be wary about using the term of a letting or lease that implies that a Ley de Arrendamientos is applicable to the case.

: I don't see a risk of that implication since the asker's text specifically refers to holiday letting legislation (see her previous question)

complimentary assignment
Usually when it is free from an employer, is called complimentary

: Not a term that would be used for someone letting out their house/flat for holidaying tourists; it is not an assignment; CL completely OTT

It is the company's property ceded to the employees. I like to use neutral language, what is CL completely OTT? Over the top?

cession free of charge
Cession, like the verb "cede", which seems to be unfairly ostracised nowadays...

For example, in the second link it refers to artworks:
"In April 2009, Carmen Buqueras signed an agreement for the cession, free-of-charge and for five years, of 100 pieces from her private collection for exhibition ..."

Dear Ruth, the property is being "ceded". It's perfectly good English and I don't know why it wasn't your immediate first choice.

: "Cede" clearly implies some form of transfer of title (or at least permanent/semi-permanent loan); this cannot be the case here. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cession
