Expert lawyers in holiday rentals and leases
Holiday rentals have become a particularly complex legal area, as they are subject not only to the Urban Leasing Act but also to specific regional and administrative regulations.
At Babot & Aranguren, we have a specialized line of work as expert holiday rental lawyers, advising owners, investors, and vacation home managers in Malaga and throughout the Costa del Sol.
At Babot & Aranguren Abogados, we provide legal advice to owners and managers of holiday accommodation in the increasingly frequent situations arising from vacation rentals, both through extrajudicial and judicial channels.
Experience shows that when action is not taken quickly and with legal backing, small conflicts can turn into serious problems that directly affect the profitability of the property or even generate legal liability for the owner.
As a firm specializing in holiday rentals in Malaga, we intervene particularly in the following cases:
Claims for damage to the property and furniture
One of the most common conflicts in vacation rentals is damage caused by guests, whether through negligence, misuse of the property, or even intentional acts.
Overstaying and refusal to vacate the property
In certain cases, a guest may refuse to leave the property at the end of the contracted stay, causing immediate harm to the owner.
Defense against administrative sanctions for holiday rentals
Andalusian regional regulations establish specific obligations regarding registration, advertising, licenses, documentation, and technical requirements.
At Babot & Aranguren Abogados, we also provide legal advice to guests and users of holiday accommodation who have been affected by breaches by the owner, manager, or intermediary platform.
Although many people are unaware of their rights, the truth is that in certain cases, consumers can claim back amounts paid and even seek compensation, especially when the accommodation offered does not correspond to reality or does not meet minimum conditions.
As a firm with experience in these types of claims, we intervene in cases such as:
- Accommodations that do not match what was advertised (misleading photos, non-existent services, or false conditions).
- Last-minute cancellations without an equivalent alternative.
- Unjustified withholding of deposits or bonds.
- Improper charges for cleaning, non-existent damages, or abusive penalties.
- Lack of habitability conditions (damp, pests, lack of utilities, poor hygiene, etc.).
- Failure to provide included services (air conditioning, swimming pool, Wi-Fi, parking, etc.).
- Overcrowding or security issues at the accommodation.
- Conflicts with hosts or management companies during the stay.
