Spain‘s Housing Market Faces Shake-up as Airbnb Cracks Down on Unregistered Rentals
in a notable move to regulate the short-term rental market, Airbnb has committed to a monthly reporting process with Spain’s Housing Department. This reporting will include the relevant state and regional registration numbers for each listing. Moreover, the platform has pledged to remove any listings that exhibit discrepancies within the national registry or are entirely absent from it.
Landlords were given a deadline of July 1st, 2025, to ensure all tourist, temporary, and seasonal rentals were officially registered with the government. Given that many property owners failed to meet this deadline, it is anticipated that a ample number of rentals will be delisted from the platform throughout the summer months.
Migrant Minors to Be Relocated Across Spain
The Spanish government is set to commence the transfer of 3,000 migrant minors from the Canary Islands, Ceuta, and Melilla to other regions within Spain starting in late August. This initiative is proceeding despite opposition from several regions governed by the Popular Party (PP).
The PP has voiced strong objections, asserting that the government has acted unilaterally without prior consultation. The party has also initiated an appeal with the Constitutional Court in an attempt to halt the transfers. Nevertheless, the government has confirmed its commitment to allocating €40 million to bolster child care initiatives nationwide and has announced the creation of 1,000 new places for migrant minors across various regions.
US Tariffs Could Impact Spanish Exports in august
Should they be implemented, US President Trump’s proposed trade tariffs are scheduled to take effect on August 1st. According to Carlos Cuerpo, the Minister of Economy, Trade and Business, these tariffs could jeopardize approximately €22.7 billion in Spanish exports.
Cuerpo elaborated that the direct volume of exports affected by the tariffs would amount to €15.1 billion, with an additional €7.6 billion attributed to “re-exports.” Within Spain, the olive oil sector is expected to be particularly hard-hit, with exports to the United States exceeding $1 billion. On a broader scale, the Congressional Economic Commission estimates that EU exports facing these US tariffs could reach around €380 billion, representing approximately 70% of the total EU exports to the US market.
