The mayor of the Spanish metropolis of Barcelona has pledged to eradicate short-term vacationer lets within the metropolis inside 5 years.
Socialist Jaume Collboni instructed a information convention he doesn’t plan to resume any of the ten,101 vacationer licenses granted to landlords once they expire in November 2028.
Mr Collboni stated the appartments, that are presently marketed on platforms similar to Airbnb and Homeaway, could be accessible to locals as a substitute.
Politicians opposing the transfer accused him of undermining property rights.
Mr Collboni stated that the measure could be “equal to constructing 10,000 new properties”.
