Blau Lawyers: Navigating the rental landscape for you
Spain is not just a country; it’s an experience. Every year, millions of tourists flock to its shores, mountains, and cities. This influx has given rise to a burgeoning market for short-term rentals. At Blau Lawyers, we understand the intricacies of this market and the regulatory landscape that governs it. Our team is dedicated to ensuring that foreigners can seamlessly integrate into this market, offering their properties to tourists while staying compliant with all legal requirements.
Understanding the tourist rental licence
Why is a licence necessary?
Spain values its reputation as a top tourist destination. To ensure that every visitor’s experience is positive, the government has established standards for rental properties catering to tourists. The tourist rental licence is a testament to a property’s adherence to these standards, ensuring safety, comfort, and a level of quality that tourists can rely on.
Differences between long-term and short-term rentals
The Spanish rental market is diverse. Long-term rentals cater to residents and those looking to stay in Spain for extended periods. These rentals, typically exceeding one month, are governed by a different set of regulations. On the other hand, short-term or tourist rentals are designed for vacationers and short stays. These require a tourist rental licence, emphasizing the property’s suitability for transient visitors.
