Poner coto al alquiler turístico: un cascabel con efectos desiguales
Bruselas quiere aprobar un reglamento comunitario que fije límites a esta fórmula. Las restricciones que ya se aplican han reducido la oferta en algunos destinos y encarecido la vivienda en otros
The European Commission has launched a regulatory umbrella to provide coverage to Member States grappling with the housing crisis. The proposal, announced last week, permits the establishment of "proportional" and "temporary" limits on short-term rentals. The text's aim – to merely define minimums – is not to ban, but to contain the advance of such rentals, especially the short-term, commercialized through digital platforms like Airbnb or Booking in areas facing housing access issues.
However, the effects of these shields are not homogeneous where already in place, and Spain serves as a case in point: while the number of tourist apartments has multiplied by 25 in the Balearic Islands over the past three years, in the Community of Valencia their volume has dropped by 12% since 2024.
