The TRUTH About New Rental Laws & Restrictions in Spain! Expert Lawyer Tells All!

Summary

This video features an expert lawyer, Peter Franke, who breaks down the significant changes to short-term rental laws in Andalusia, Spain, effective April 3rd, 2025. The core change is a shift in the burden of proof: property owners will now need to provide explicit approval from their community of owners (HOA) with a 3/5th majority vote to obtain a new tourist license (VFT). Previously, a license could be granted as long as there was no explicit prohibition. This new rule also applies when buying a property with an existing license, as the new owner must apply for a license in their own name, triggering the new approval requirement. The video stresses the urgency for potential hosts to act before the 2025 deadline.
