  2. PAGE 02 What started with one autonomous region in Spain, gradually spread to most of the regions. Out of them, the Andalusia’s draft sparked most controversy. The autonomous region of Andalusia approved its Holiday Rental Law 2 years back in February 2016. A lot of Home owners who are finding their guests on various online portals like Airbnb, HomeAway, Trip Advisor, etc were in a state of confusion as there was not much clarity on what needs to be done to comply with the law.

Home Owners or Property Management companies that own or rent three or more properties each located within 1 km radius from reception office in same unit. They have a different set of restrictions to be followed. WHICH PROPERTIES ARE INCLUDED? Properties located in residential areas. Properties rented out to tourists regularly on short term basis (days, weeks, months) Properties where reservation system is implemented Properties rented out by means of specialized media It is obvious that the above list might not cover all possible scenarios and there might be instances where home owners are in state of confusion whether their property is included or excluded.

The property can be rented in its entirety or room wise. When the whole property is rented, the maximum occupancy of guests cannot exceed 15 with maximum capacity of 4 guests per room. The Law also requires to have the rental agreement signed with the guests and their details updated on the policia platform.
