Vacation rentals are blamed for the shortage and high cost of residential rentals, forgetting the almost non-existent official housing policy<\/em><\/h3>\n

The shortage of residential rental housing and high costs are problems that have been looming large in Lanzarote for some years now. Lack of scruples and disreputable practices have led to some appalling levels of exploitation and islanders lay the blame at the door of holiday rentals.<\/p>\n

According to Javier Mart\u00edn Vera, manager of the Canarian Holiday Rental Association, ASCAV (ascav.es), \u2018Holiday rentals are being blamed for the lack of housing when there\u2019s actually been no housing policy put in place to tackle the problem. These types of lettings barely account for 3% of the island\u2019s rented housing and a mere 10% of all accommodation on offer. And yet there are numerous hotels.\u2019<\/p>\n

Another point to consider is the amount of irregular or illegal holidays lets. \u2018Of course, from the ASCAV standpoint, we condemn this activity as it creates unfair competition and damages the reputation of both the sector and Lanzarote as a quality destination. The association is not equipped with the means to carry out inspections or controls, that\u2019s the responsibility of the police authorities, the Guardia Civil.\u2019<\/p>\n

He went on to say that \u2018Nevertheless, we have been working on keeping our members informed of correct procedures and getting holiday rentals registered and made official. It is now permitted anywhere because the Supreme Court overturned the exemption of tourist areas, and one set of regulations has been in place since 2015 (Canary Island Government Decree 113\/2015) passed on 22 May. This means that 80% of holiday rentals are now regulated very strictly.\u2019<\/p>\n

Mart\u00edn puts the sector\u2019s public image down to the fact that \u2018we defend the little guy, but we have 10% of the quota, which doesn\u2019t sit well. People think there\u2019s a lot of profit to be made with holiday lets, but that’s not the case when everything is done legally. What does happen, though, is that owners get paid upfront, and there\u2019s far less risk of occupants destroying the property.<\/p>\n

He finishes by adding, \u2018Don\u2019t forget, a holiday rental property is constantly being rated by users across more than thirty platforms involved in dealing with vacation lets. It takes just three negative feedback reports to make it very difficult to rent for quite some time.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
