82% are concentrated in just five regions

In full Tourism expansion international and with housing turned into the Great broken down With the head of the Spaniards, the government wants to cut short of short stay rents. To achieve it A few months ago presented its system of Single window and “registration number”, A new formula with which he intends to guarantee that those who rent their houses to tourists (even rooms) or through seasonal contracts do so complying with the laws of the sector.

Now, with the new system of registration already advanced, the ministry has The first data. And they give us an interesting clue about the regions of Spain (surprisingly few) that suffer the most of the holiday rental pressure.

What happened? That the government is putting the new system with which it intends to order the short -term rentals. A few days ago the Ministry of Housing and Urban Agenda (Mivau) revealed that since January 2, it has received more than 215,400 applications from owners interested in obtaining a “rental registration number” for its properties, the tuition that since July 1 they need to announce and operate on platforms such as Booking or Airbnb.

Something more than half of those requests (134,300) arrived at the Ministry last month, which explains that not all are at the same point. According to the governmentthere are 94,200 that have already been activated definitively and 102,700 that have provisional green light, so you must still receive the guarantee of the College of Registrars. Another 18,500 have run worse luck and were revoked.

Sum and follow requests. Although the system has just activated an idea of ​​the amount of short stay rents operating in the country. On Monday, a week after the balance of Mivau, Idealista published Updated figures that raise the total requests to more than 260,000, which shows that the drip of requests remains at a good pace. Moreover, the platform appointment A manager of the College of Registrars who estimates that at the end of June the 30,000 daily applications were reached, a rhythm that would now be around 10.00 or 15,000.

Idealist Share Another interesting fact: To date, 22,000 homemade requests have been denied that have run out of the registration number that allows them to operate on the main digital platforms. The reason? Many incurred in the same three errors: their homes lacked license, they did not have the endorsement of the community of owners or can only be dedicated to residential use.

For rent or season. Before following it is important to understand that not all owners request a registration number for the same. There are those who do it to rent their houses to tourists (the majority) and those who want to opt for the market of the season leasewhich is the one who demand, for example, the storms, researchers, students, athletes … in general any person who needs a house in which to stay a few months. The first case represents 78.9% of the requests until July. The second, 21.1%.

Although these are different casuistics, both are considered “short -lived rentals” that from now on operate with the single digital window and a registration number that must be visible on the platforms. The objective, Underline Minister Isabel Rodríguez, is “to end the illegal tourist floors that expel families from their neighborhoods” and to use temporary rental to mock the law.

What the data reveals. The figures Published by the Rodríguez department are interesting for another reason: they give us an interesting clue about the regions of the country most pressured by the short stay rentals, especially holidays. Of all the applications activated definitively at the end of June for tourist leases, the majority (82.22%) are concentrated in five regions: Andalusia, Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, Catalonia and the Valencian C..

If we talk about provisional authorizations, that half dozen regions agglutinates 69.22% of permits. “This assumes that more than three out of four requests for registration numbers for tourist rental are concentrated in these five autonomous communities,” Clarify The Ministry of Housing.

That 82% do not mean that the five communities agglutinate eight out of ten tourist rentals, but eight out of ten applications processed and approved today (the final photography can still vary). Still it is revealing.

Can you get off in detail? Yeah. Mivau requires that at least at the end of June it was possible to identify Hot points in each of those five communities. In the case of Andalusia, which accumulated 49,397 requests, the vast majority (27,936) of Malaga. In the Canary Islands highlight Gran Canaria and Tenerife, which brought respectively 16,7100 and 13,300 applications of the 30,000 of the archipelago.

Ministry data shows a similar trend in Catalonia or the Valencian Community. The bulk of the requests part of the provinces of Costa. Barcelona processed 9,500, Tarragona 6,600 and Girona 9,500, which between the three total 92% of the total. In C. Valenciana (21,900 applications in total), 14,500 left Alicante, 2,900 of Castellón and about 4,500 of Valencia.
