The laws affecting holiday rentals in Spain. Do you own a holiday rental property in Spain? Are you thinking of buying one? Do you have a website or agency that advertises VRBO in Spain? Spain announced a major change in the laws affecting vacation rentals in June of 2013. Nobody knows for sure exactly what will happen in the next year and lots of people are genuinely worried. Many expats own a property on one of the Spanish costas and the news media have been blasting headlines about the government "clamping down" on this sector. This is not accurate; in fact the Costa Brava and the Costa Blanca are encouraging the registration of properties for holiday rental use. What about the Costa del Sol? This little book of just over 40 pages clears away a lot of the mists and gives details of how to get on the right side of the law. It does not have all the answers but is possibly the most informative guide you will find on this subject.
