The daily rental of houses to tourists, which has increased like an avalanche in recent years in Spain’s big and touristic cities, has further exacerbated the housing problem in the country and led to an increase in untaxed income.
Madrid Mayor Jose Luis Martinez Almeida announced a series of measures to prevent illegal tourist rental houses in the city and control the accommodation market.
Noting that the issuance of new licenses for rental houses used for touristic purposes in the city center has been stopped, Almeida said that until now, the licenses for those who rented houses to tourists without permission were between 1000 and 3 thousand euros.
announced that they increased the fine imposed to the range of 30 thousand to 100 thousand euros (3.5 million TL).
Almeida said, “There will be no compensation for continuing an illegal activity from now on. The number of inspectors will be increased by 15 percent to track down houses for illegal tourist use, and the full addresses of tourist houses will be published so that users can know whether they are legal or not.” he said.
