226 sats \ 11 replies \ @SwapMarket 3 Jun \ on: Is airBnB really to blame for Spain's rental crisis? econ
Absolutely not. Stupid laws that make long term rentals a high risk business are to blame. It is virtually impossible to evict a not-paying family with children from your house, because police will do nothing without a court order, and courts spend 5+ years to hear the case. So everyone prefers renting 3 months in the summer to foreigners, with weekly cleaning and control, than to let locals move in. Annual yield is the same or better, but the risk is much smaller!
do you think if the gov made it very easy to evict tennats, people would feel safer letting long term? or do you think short term would still be more popular because a landlord will make more per day?

Plus migrants from shit hole countries flooding Spain

Not as many as in France and further north. Spaniards did not colonize any African countries afaik, and drew out the arabs that captured their land. So they have moral restraints to do that again.
