Barcelona bans Airbnb style rental

if you’re planning to visit Barcelona soon you might find it difficult to find an Airbnb this is because the mayor of Barcelona has announced that the city will scrap 10,000 tourist flat licenses and not renew any existing ones when they expire in 2028 apartment rents in Barcelona have risen by over 70% in the past 10 years and one of the reasons is the increase in short-term rentals on platforms such as Airbnb and some residents have even been forced to leave their neighborhoods now short-term rals that are currently being advertised on platforms like Airbnb and home away will only be available for locals but Barcelona’s tourist Department Association warned that adding the ban would trigger a rise in illegal tourist departments and impact jobs and poverty across the city

By 2028, Barcelona authorities have said they will get rid of all short-term private rentals in the city, which includes cancelling the licenses of 10,000 apartments currently approved.

  2. Good, everybody should do that, all over the globe. Landlords and corporations like airbnb have been getting away with it for far too long

  3. Air BnB impacted my old neighborhood. Rents went up and irresponsible people flooded our area.

    We fought it by organizing and leaning on our city coyncil. We also used civil suits against the property owners every time their renters prevented us from the normal and enjoyment of our homes.

    Businesses have no business in residential neighborhoods.

  5. This like most artificial systems governments try to fix the things they broke will eventually backfire- tourism will be the first victim, then the rentals will be sold to single rich dwellers and once inventory is gone the original problems will be recycled again – there is nothing governments do well
