The new rules for rental in the Valencia region of Spain

[G92]

Can I through AirBnB, still advertise,  as a two pronged rental, in my case 3-10 days as Tourist Accommodation, and 11-or more, as Seasonal Accommodation ?

Would this comply with AirBnB rules and also satisfy the new Valencian rules?

Length of stays have nothing to do with Airbnb it relates to the STR regulations in your area. Airbnb will comply with regulations 

You should be able to check the STR regulations on your local government website @G92

@Helen3 But if i have stays of over 10 days the tourist rules do not apply as it then becomes a seasonal rental and even the VTR is not needed, so my real question i guess is, do i only allow stays of over 10 days, thus not needing my current registration to comply with the ruling, only to comply with AirBnB rules?

@G92 How I understand it is, you can only use Airbnb for 10 days or shorter, anything more becomes a seasonal stay which means you can not advertise on Airbnb.

You do not need a license for the longer stays but must not be advertised on here or any other type platform.
So you have to choose, 10 days or less = Airbnb
11+ days = Not on Airbnb!

I have only just found out and I am fuming. Who on earth came up with 10 days as an acceptable timeframe?

[G92]

@Paul-And-Jane2 I totally agree, it is a stupid ruling formed by somebody, no doubt in the pocket of the hotel industry!

14 days would have been aceptable, (just) but 10 is ridiculous, just trying to push guests towards  ( in my area) non  existent hotels.

Have you read it completely, all the amendments to the rules, i.e   on the street acccess.

Using lockboxes, all guests must now be met on arrival.

No worries @G92 😊.

I’m glad you’re getting support for your question!

What i don't understand is, AirBnB are still advertising monthly and longer rentals in the Valencia region. How can this be if it is not supposed to be allowed?
