Madrid to Fine Rental Firms, Not Owners, for Tourist Housing

The Madrid Community will require rental management companies, not individual property owners, to file responsible declarations before operating tourist housing. This new regulation aims to curb the growth of illegal tourist rentals within the region, which currently has over 15,000 unregistered properties. The move is intended to strengthen requirements for operating these accommodations, supplementing municipal and national regulations.
