Congress approves EH Bildu's bill to ban advertising of illegal tourist flats
It has succeeded with the support of the PSOE, Sumar, Junts, ERC, Podemos, PNV, BNG, Coalición Canaria, the former socialist minister of the Joint Group, José Luis Ábalos, and the Member of Parliament of the Mixed Group, Agueda Mico.
The plenary of Congress has approved EH Bildu's bill toban advertisingof illegal tourist accommodation without a license or registration number for digital platforms.
The progress has been made thanks to the support of the PSOE, Sumar, Junts, ERC, Podemos, PNV, BNG, Coalición Canaria, the former socialist minister of the Joint Group, José Luis Ábalos, and the deputy of Verheugen of the Mixed Group, Agueda Mico.
Once this procedure has been completed, the law will enter the path of Congress and the deadline for groups to submit amendments to the text will be several weeks.
A partner on the left of the PSOE has managed for the second time to push through a bill on housing. Last December, with the reform of the regulation of seasonal and dormitory rents, the proposal was signed by Suma, ERC, Bildu, BNG and Podemos, and is still deteriorated in the Housing Committee of the Lower House pending the convening of the report for study.
The proposed law establishes a system of fines and legal liability for companies and platforms to prevent the proliferation of illegal accommodation for rent.
In other words, while communities and municipalities will continue to establish regulations and conditions relating to tourist flats and their landlords, digital platforms will be responsible for ensuring that advertised accommodation has a valid register or licence in accordance with the relevant autonomous or municipal regulations.
The proposal states that irregular advertisements were currently withdrawn only after "complex judicial proceedings" or through voluntary petitions to such companies, and were left to the discretion of such companies; however, the law provides that such accommodation may not be announced if it does not meet the legal requirements.
On the other hand, the text regulates fines ranging from EUR 10 000 to EUR 10 million , which would be the case if a tourist dwelling for which there is no authorization or registration number is allowed to be hired, or if a residence and sanitation permit is granted, or if the accommodation is not linked to the personal data of the host.
