How to defer an illegal apartment to a legal one in Barcelona?

With everything that is out there on the market, it has become difficult to differ the illegal to the legal apartments to rent in Barcelona. Keep reading our article and you will know what makes an apartment legal to rent to tourists in Barcelona.

With tourism in Barcelona having quadrupled since the 1990’s when the Olympic Games were hosted in the city, the city council of Barcelona has decided to put a lot of emphasis on the regulation regarding apartment rental.
To rent an apartment in Barcelona or to make sure the apartment you are renting is legal you will have to pay attention that the apartment obtained an HUTB (property for tourism usage) license. As the HUTB license is meant, in part, to protect guests from staying in an accommodation deemed “unfit” for tourists stay, tourists, visiting Barcelona for periods shorter than 32 days should check beforehand to see whether their booking is licensed. This can be done by doing a quick google search of the HUTB number and finding the corresponding address on a government website.
