Community rules

[Slater39]

This is what all the owners have been sent.

No Individual Cpmmunitites have their own rules just for that community however they cannot stop you from renting. What they can do (we did) is charge the owner of the property for any offences that their renters occurred. (I.E. children broke walkway lighting globes) so the owners of the proeprty were charged for the replacements. We found with noisy renters - that the threat of calling the Police was usually enough to stop them, if they continued then the owners were sent an email stating that court action may be taken unless they could guarantee that they would vet their rentals.

"Pursuant to this modification, a majority of three/fifths (60%) of owners (and shares) will be enough to approve measures in order to “limit and condition” the holiday rentals within the community, as explained in article 17.12 of Horizontal Property Law, that now reads as follows: ‘The agreement that limits or conditions the exercise of the activity referred to in letter e) of article 5 of Law 29/1994, of November 24th, on Urban Leases, in the terms established in the tourism sector regulations, whether or not modifying the constitutive title or bylaws, will require the favourable vote of three-fifths of the total of the owners who must also represent 3/5 of the participation fees. Likewise, this same majority will be required for the agreement establishing special maintenance fees or an increase in the share of the common expenses of the property where said activity is carried out, as long as these modifications do not imply an increase of more than 20% . These agreements will not have retroactive effects.”

It is important to point out that the possible prohibition will not affect those properties that were already being rented out as holiday homes, and with the appropriate license in place at the moment the agreement is adopted. However, owners of such properties will be affected by a possible increase in their community fees, by up to 20%, without retroactive effects. Also, this does not affect long term rentals."

Olive press article. Yes I know not the most reliable newspaper but does explain the changes quite well.

New owners I believe need to go to a community vote, existing with licences carry on as before.
Probably change again in a couple of months, so hard to keep on top of things here.

Thank u everyone for your replies. It just seems so unfair

because we have a large pool we have life guards during the summer, we also have a full time security guard, and touch wood I have no problems with renters, we are allocated swimming cards 6 per household no card no entry of the pool, and our pool bar is busy, and if your community charge is lapsing you will not be allowed to swim, I think we have got it right.
