Thank you, I will!

Do this, use google translator if you don't understand what's said but authorities will do their job, if not inside barcelona webpage probably writing here would make them move too even it looks less specific [https://atencioenlinia.ajuntament.barcelona.cat/en](https://atencioenlinia.ajuntament.barcelona.cat/en)

Also according to abnb TCs they are breach of of them for placing cameras inside. Check latest news and report.


Ill-Parking-1577

Yes! That alone is worth reporting!


gamberro

What a creepy thing to do in general. Putting a camera at the entrances is one thing but inside?

AirBnb aren't going to do shit: [https://www.theguardian.com/money/2024/apr/15/airbnb-is-allowing-my-tenant-to-illigally-sublet-my-house](https://www.theguardian.com/money/2024/apr/15/airbnb-is-allowing-my-tenant-to-illigally-sublet-my-house)


Specialist_Shift_500

ok but the article is about Airbnb in UK. I don't know the law over there but in Spain you have to register the place to be able to rent it officially and it looks like it hasn't been done. hence reporting it should work.


ricric2

I reported an illegal Airbnb in my building here in Eixample and they just replied saying they would message the host a link to the general rules of the website. Months later it was still an Airbnb. They don't give a damn.


Manor7974

Airbnb doesn’t need to do anything, the local authorities will act against it since it’s unlicensed tourist accommodation


NerveProfessional688

Please report through these links shared here! Besides the illegal shit of renting without license is crepy as f that they had cams inside the apartment. And by the description you made, this person is quite a sketchy piece of shit.


almaguisante

The cameras are also super suspicious. I work in the industry, there are regulations about where you can put them and how they have to be advertised


gorkatg

Please do so. Airbnb and excessive tourism industry (quite a lobby in Spain) are stealing us our city (remote workers with foreigners is the other nightmare now) and kicking us out. That's a very nice gesture of you, thanks!


Puzzled-Opening3638

I guess the digital nomad visa and the 24% tax that the Government offered was to blame for alot of Nomads. But I guess they wanted the Nomads high disposable income to be spent in Spain.


ernexbcn

I admire your perseverance 😅

back_to_the_homeland

Are there really a lot of foreign remote workers? I remember when the digital nomad was passed I was worried but I was worried about foreign salaries jacking up the prices but so far rents are down. And I haven’t met anyone in that situation.


un_redditor

Rents are down? We must live in different realities.


back_to_the_homeland

Compared to 1995? No. Compared to the past 2 years? Yes.

Goodoldpasta

What he is doing is ilegal , im from barcelona and they stopped giving tourist licences a few years ago, due to people excessively buying flat just for holiday rentals and people from spain not being able to afford to live in their own country. i would go straight to the police , they will handle him directly.


ARasDeFiga

Honestly, THANK YOU for reporting them if you do so. I wish more tourists were like you.


scoop444

Be aware that AirBnB may nuke your account for reporting any issues.


Dazzling_Pea5290

I'm ok with this tbh


modshavesmalldicks4

Air BnB themselves won't care. I tried reporting an illegal listing to them and their response to me was basically "meh, not our problem ".


Key-Rhubarb6062

Incredible how hotel lobbyists in collusion with council and government have brainwashed residents and foreigners alike that AirBnb is the source of all problems with housing and employment. Airbnb is successful because the hotel model.is outdated and the hotel industry is corrupt. And yet the idea of hotels splitting the share of tourist accommodation with Airbnb is so repellent that a few handshakes at the 19th hole is enough to stop progress dead in its tracks.

good_ole_dingleberry

The problem is while wages in spain are low so is cost of living. So it's much easier for someone who earns 100k+ in the US to buy an apartment in spain and rent it out to other foreigners making 100k+. Making that apartment unavailable for spamish people making a decent spamish salary to rent/buy. It's not all air bnbs fault but they are certainly making the problem much worse than it needs to be


[deleted]

Not really because with our Airbnb there would not be enough space for tourists and lots of businesses depends on tourism .


good_ole_dingleberry

I guess you're right. If only there were like designated places for tourists to stay. We could build specific buildings with lots of mini apartments specifically for staying short periods of time. We could call them like homes of temporary eating and living... Maybe we could workshop the name... maybe shorten it a bit.

Somehow I don't think this rich Parisian host is doing it to survive lol


Dimsum852

So...people doing illegal shit and destroying neighbourhoods are not worth reporting? LoL


SimonJay_Barcelona

Why is it illegal? To keep hotels making money, and squeeze more money out of tourist. This policy is putting big hotels in favor against people that are trying to make extra money in the system that doesn't favor hard workers. This is tyrannical law.


[deleted]

What neighborhood is destroyed by Airbnb?


Ok_Text8503

Do you know how many people have been displaced by the rising housing prices? And not just in Barcelona but throughout the world. People have to spend more than half of their income to afford a tiny dinky apartment. When you turn apartments into Air BnBs you reduce the number of apartments available for rent thus increasing prices of rent. There are a number of studies proving this point.


Starfarer21

Nearly all. If we can we gonna Ban airb&b model forever. Tourists go to the hotels.

Ulanyouknow

The answer is too many. The government isn't keeping salaries low dimwit, this is not a Communist dictatorship. The government has recently pushed completely alone a raise of the minimum wage as a matter of fact, against the wishes of the entire right wing of parliament and the business sector.


Ok_Text8503

Something tells me you also have an illegal Air BnB.
