The Consell de Mallorca proposes new fines amounting to 560,000 euros in a building in Palma dedicated to illegal tourist rental

The councillor for Tourism, José Marcial Rodríguez Díaz, expressed his satisfaction with this new action carried out by the department’s inspection and sanctions service and stressed that ‘illegal supply, regardless of the sector in which it operates, is not only a very harmful unfair competition for all those who do things well on our island, who are the vast majority, but a terrible problem for coexistence, something we want to fight and eradicate’, while he pledged to ‘continue acting’ in this regard.

Rodríguez added that these sanctions are the result of long work within the department, which has ‘scrupulously complied with all the administrative processes’, and which has allowed ‘as the legal deadlines dictate’, to act in this way.
It is worth remembering that the penalties currently proposed for illegal tourist rentals on the island are 80,000 euros for each property detected. The range of fines for this issue set by law varies from 40,001 euros in the lowest range, to 400,000 euros in the maximum, and until now they were being imposed in the amount of 40,001 euros.
Thus, the proposed penalties currently being imposed on those who carry out this activity illegally are worth 80,000 euros per dwelling, with the aim of dissuading these people from ceasing their activity, and to protect residents and guarantee the legal security of the entire legal offer in the tourism sector.
