The party is over in Mallorca! Balearics to fine parties in tourist rental properties

The party is over in Mallorca! Balearics to fine parties in tourist rental properties

The Balearic Parliament today, Tuesday, unanimously approved a law that will penalise the holding of illegal parties and “annoying activities” in homes that are marketed as tourist accommodation. Més per Menorca deputy Josep Castells, the group that proposed the bill, argued that the current legal framework does not provide a response to the phenomenon of taking advantage of tourist rentals for an “annoying” activity, which is aggravated by the difficulty of pursuing it through administrative channels, leaving the general public who suffer its effects defenceless.

The proposal involves extending the concept of an illegal party and incorporating it into the Law on Activities, for those that are held in tourist rental properties between 11pm and 8am, he said. The aim is to penalise owners of tourist accommodation who do not take measures to prevent their clients from disturbing parties, because “the owner cannot wash his hands of this problem”.

The bill, which now begins its parliamentary procedure, establishes penalties for minor offences of between 1,500 and 3,000 euros, and for serious offences of between 15,000 and 30,000 euros, with the additional punishment of the possible loss of the tourist licence for the owner of the property and the impossibility of recovering it for three years. All the political groups in the regional chamber have supported the initiative.
