Spain’s New Push to Regulate Tourist Rentals: What Changed in 2025?

Spain is tightening oversight of tourist and seasonal rentals in 2025, aiming to curb illegal listings and reduce pressure on local housing markets. A central plank is the rollout of a national register for tourist and seasonal rentals, paired with new data-sharing and takedown obligations for platforms.

Key developments
• National register goes live (July 2025). Platforms must align listings with a unified registration system and share periodic data with authorities. Coverage and enforcement are being phased and have faced early implementation hiccups. (El País, infobae)
• Platform takedowns accelerate. Following a July agreement with Spain’s Housing Ministry, Airbnb will notify hosts whose listings lack a valid code and give 10 business days to comply before removing them. Authorities also signal faster removals where a listing is explicitly flagged by regulators. (El País, hosteltur.com)
• Policy backdrop. In January 2025 the government announced a broader housing package, arguing Spain has an excess of tourist rentals relative to long-term supply and promising measures to boost affordable rental stock. (El País, La Moncloa)

Why this matters
• For cities: Officials hope stricter registration and enforcement will limit illegal supply and ease rent pressures—though analysts caution these steps alone won’t solve structural shortages. (El País)
• For hosts and managers: Compliance is becoming non-negotiable. Expect more verification, periodic data checks, and faster delistings for non-compliant properties. Early reporting suggests notable waves of removals as rules bite. (infobae)

Open questions
• How uniformly will regions and municipalities adopt and enforce the national register?
• Will tougher enforcement shift supply toward longer-term rentals or simply push non-compliant tourist listings off major platforms?
• Can these measures meaningfully relieve rental prices without parallel increases in overall housing supply?

Málaga Freezes New Tourist Apartment Permits for Three Years!

The city of Málaga has announced a three-year freeze on new permits for tourist apartments. The measure will take effect once it is published in the Provincial Official Gazette, though it could end earlier if a new zoning plan is completed.

This decision comes as the rapid growth of vacation rentals has increasingly put pressure on the housing market. More and more residential homes have been converted into short-term tourist apartments, reducing availability for locals. Earlier measures – such as stricter access rules and restrictions in neighborhoods with a high density of tourist flats – were not enough to curb the trend.

Currently, Málaga has nearly 12,800 registered tourist apartments, of which about 8,600 are actively rented. In 53 neighborhoods, the share of tourist apartments already exceeds 8% of the total housing stock.

The freeze will allow the city to update its outdated 2011 urban plan to better reflect today’s reality. The goal: strike a balance between the city’s vital tourism industry and the rights of residents to affordable housing.

Mayor Francisco de la Torre emphasized that tourism will always be essential for Málaga’s economy, but stressed that “the right to live in the city is just as important.” Over the next three years, the municipality will work with residents, the tourism sector, and experts to develop new rules that protect both the city and its housing market.

What does this mean for landlords?

With cities like Málaga tightening regulations on short-term holiday rentals, the market is shifting. More owners are now exploring mid-term rentals (10 days – 11 months) as a secure and sustainable alternative.
