Consumer Affairs orders the removal of 8,300 irregular seasonal rental ads, mostly in Madrid

The Spanish Ministry of Consumption has identified 8,300 tourist accommodations being advertised as seasonal rentals on two digital platforms. The ministry, led by Pablo Bustinduy, has demanded their removal, citing non-compliance with new regulations established by a royal decree approved on October 6. Most of these ads, around 6,500, are concentrated in Madrid. By advertising them as seasonal rentals, the advertisers can avoid stricter regulations on vacation housing.
