  • Mark Fancourt
  • 20 August 2025
🏠 Spain recently removed 60,000 apartments from the rental market to address housing concerns.

This affects property owners seeking to rent their assets, as digital platforms face increased scrutiny. The debate centers around balancing property rights against corporate interests, challenging the traditional practice of holiday rentals in the platform economy era.
