The impact of regulations on vacation rentals in Comunidad Valenciana

The regulations surrounding vacation rentals are constantly changing and becoming increasingly complex. This raises many questions for both private owners and professional rental agencies. While vacation rentals were long an unclear and scarcely regulated topic, the rise of platforms like Airbnb has put them in the spotlight. Especially in major cities, short-term rentals have led to issues such as disturbances for permanent residents and a reduced availability of housing in the regular rental market. Owners often choose to rent their property per day, as this is financially more attractive than long-term rental contracts. This has led to concerns among governments and stricter regulations in urban areas.

Vacation rentals in coastal towns

At the same time, vacation rentals play a completely different role in the coastal towns of Comunidad Valenciana. Here, they form an essential part of the tourism sector. In many coastal towns, there are hardly any hotels; the majority of tourists stay in vacation apartments by the sea or in villas with private pools in the hills. These homes are often second residences of families who use them during their vacations and rent them out when unoccupied to cover costs. The income from vacation rentals largely flows back into the local economy through maintenance, cleaning, and other services that keep the sector running.

Our mission

For these coastal regions, maintaining vacation rentals is of crucial importance. Without these accommodations, a large part of the tourism industry would collapse, with negative consequences for local businesses and employment. Therefore, it is essential that owners are well-informed about the applicable regulations and organize their rentals responsibly.

As professionals in this sector, we aim to guide owners in complying with the law and successfully renting out their properties so that vacation rentals remain a stable and sustainable pillar within the tourism sector of Comunidad Valenciana.
